I've got a slightly unstable system, and I'm beginning to get a feel
that it's something to do with my Radeon graphics card. I've got a Ryzen
3 processor, so I'm not using onboard graphics. Output attached - can
anybody give me any clues? There's what looks like a crash where it says
"cut here", and the intel sound driver is unhappy ...

Cheers,
Wol

Yes, it seems this is a HD_Audio codec problem. Have a look here - search for azx:

[ 12.262882] Buffer I/O error on dev dm-3, logical block 33554416,
async page read

Might be worth check the status of the disks with smartctl, something like; smartctl -a /dev/sda | egrep '(^ID|Reallocated_Sector_C|Reported_Uncorrectable_Er|Command_Timeout|Current_Pending_Sect|Offline_Uncorre)'

First thing i'd do is update to the latest kernel (5.10.96) and emerge @x11-module-rebuild as the issue may already be fixed.
