6.1.0-28 corresponds to 6.1.119 upstream
6.1.0-29 corresponds to 6.1.123 upstream
6.1.0-30 corresponds to 6.1.124 upstream

Looking through the changes beween 6.1.119 and 6.1.123 I don't spot
something obviously suspicious. There were no changes in sound/core/oss.

Can you please try to bisect the problem? The relevant commit must be
between 6.1.119 and 6.1.123. So the rough procedure is:

 - init:
	git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
	cd linux
	git checkout v6.1.119
	cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
	make localmodconfig
	cp .config arch/x86/configs/my_defconfig

 - test:
 	make -j10 my_defconfig bindeb-pkg
	.. install the generated kernel image and test

 - test the new end:
 	git checkout v6.1.123
	goto test
 	

Assuming also with upstream v6.1.119 is good and v6.1.123 is bad, you
can start the actual bisection:

	git bisect start v6.1.123 v6.1.119

Until the problematic commit isn't found git checks out a revision to
test in each step. Do that (i.e. build the kernel image using bindeb-pkg
like above, install and test) and depending on the outcome run:

	git bisect good

or

	git bisect bad

If a revision fails to compile or boot such that you cannot diagnose if
your problem exists, run:

	git bisect skip

After roughly 10 iterations that should identify the first bad commit.

Please report that.

Best regards
Uwe
