Re: kernel: xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR unknown event type 37 - Kernel 4.19.13

[Nathan Royce]

Wow, my system got wrecked (exaggeration) during this latest stretch...
Pulseaudio was stretched to the limit and beyond and was forced to
restart. Anything that was producing audio had to be restarted to get
it back.
This time was much like the first time and went from timestamp
573100.060927 (line 1) to 572506.604155 (line 11069), where 100%
(literally) of it was that event 37 in the journal, no other kernel
log entries except for the systemd-hostnamed audit before it all went
down.
And as usual, it was my USB TV tuner (tvheadend really) giving the
Poll Timeout log entries.
Those same uploaded trace files will be updated with the latest bugout.
