this is my first question so please be kind regarding any mistakes, etc.
So, I've got a problem with my lenovo t14 amd laptop. From time to time, the output device makes weird echoing/crackling noises while playing videos or other people's talk from discord etc.
The weird noises stay for some time (usually a few minutes, I think) and then disappear again. Turning the device off and on again can help, but doesn't do so necessarily.
I've never had a problem with connecting the microphone (what other people seem to have).
For other people the kernel seems to be the problem:

but since I've got 5.11.0-37-generic I think that shouldn't be the problem?
What else:
I've got ubuntu 20.04.
Here's a recording of the noise: https://voca.ro/114YFb1BAlzo
Thanks in advance!

systemctl --user status pulseaudio gave me

And for journalctl | grep pulseaudio the terminal kind of exploded and I just take the entries for today and yesterday, since I've had the problem yesterday:
