Dear Maintainer,

Audio crackling/dropout on Meteor Lake HDA (Asus Zenbook UX3405MA) after
upgrading kernel 6.12.94 -> 6.12.107. Powered studio monitors connected via
headphone jack, wobble/dropout occurs intermittently when a second audio
stream plays while typing. Ruled out ground loop (persists on battery),
pinned PipeWire quantum to 1024 (no change), no RT scheduling errors in
journalctl. Kernel 6.12.94 does not exhibit the issue; 6.12.107 does.
