KDE freezes while playing music and reading disk

I was experiencing strange freezes on Kubuntu. It started since upgrade to 23.04. It happens when PC works few hours with turned off monitor and it never happened with turned on monitor. I was using Pragha player. Also there may be extensive disk operations on background, etc. Freeze continued after upgrade to 24.04. Playback glitches and keyboard becomes unresponsive. Only hard reset helps.

I stopped using Pragha player – use VLC for music right now. Miracle happened – no freezes during past two weeks. How music player can freeze whole system? O_o

Still left annoying shit that should be eliminated: I regularly "loose files" when copying from mobile phone to NTFS drive both via Wi Fi and USB. Files simply disappear in destination folder. This error is fixed in Windows with chkdsk C: /f Also there are issues when canceling copy process to USB drive.

Another annoying crap is that sometimes KDE boots without sound with lagging start menu and slow disk read. Why such basics things suck on modern Linux? O_o
