I appreciate that Realtek can be an issue, but on a few PCs they works solidly with Alsa so seems unlikely it's the kernel driver (restarting pulseaudio would bring it back, at least for a while). So it seems to me the issues are very much with Pulseaudio (rather than with the kernel).

Alternatively, Pulseaudio could be exercising different code paths in Realtek's firmware that Alsa doesn't trigger. With Realtek, all bets are open...
