Does audio work fine undocked? Before looking at something like an rma I’d recommend switching is branches to force an update and/or reimaging the ssd to see if it’s an OS issue. Idk how likely that is but beats going without the deck while it’s out for service
Yeah it works fine audio wise without. I’m wondering if it’s similar to the echo cancel sink bug.
It could be, I almost never actually use my dock so hard to judge. with it being intermittent over usbc and not being affected by different cables I would hazard a guess that either the dock is having issues, or steamOS is though. If you're ok with using the konsole you could try
cat /var/log/syslog* | grep -i pulse
and see if it states what's going on with the audio server.
Edit: journalctl would also work if you want to see logs in real time while debugging, use
sudo journalctl -f
