Hi, AMD Ryzen 7800x3D, AMD 6900XT here, kernel open source GPU drivers, as of fairly recently I’m getting audio popping & crackling, first it was in wine applications which seemed sort of anomalous, but now I’m getting it everywhere. I fixed this temporarily with,
sudo pacman -Syu pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber
Followed by,
systemctl --user restart pipewire
systemctl --user restart wireplumber
Followed by a reboot.
But now it’s just back. It’s back yet again. This is the second or maybe third distro I’ve had to deal with this on, all of them running pipewire-pulse. It’s also not a hardware issue because I was able to capture the sounds via Audacity which means it’s not just an audio cable or speaker issue, it’s something in software.
I adjusted every single setting in alsamixer and pavucontrol in some vain attempt to see if anything in there could possibly fix it but to no avail.
I am seeing there’s a lot of other people with different audio issues too here, and I saw it suggested that there was a pipewire update recently and it might be a regression so downgrading might help, but I dunno how to do that or if that’s even a good idea.
I have a feeling if I just run the above commands again, it’ll give me good results for another couple days but I am tired of this issue and I want a permanent solution. I don’t want to have to reboot or stop what I’m doing to run pacman reinstalls every time my audio drivers starts falling apart.
Any suggestions? Anyone else ever have this issue?
