I am not able to reproduce the original bug because I returned the machine where the bug occurs.


It seems the reboot is triggered by the fact that it has NVIDIA dGPU, and dGPU switching was the reboot criteria.


However, by manually doing `sudo -s` to root then `sudo -s -u user` to user account I can recreate the symptom:

Job cannot be started because:
 - required dependency 'com.canonical.certification::audio/detect_sinks_sources' has failed
Outcome: job cannot be started


then at the same environment running the audio test with the patch, the audio tests are passed:
