To start out, the audio is fine, using my ear bug headphones with my laptop's audio jack. Then, after a few minutes, suddenly audio distortion kicks in. It happens when using both streaming music (audacious) as well as voice (zoom). I seem to be able to "clear it out" by temporarily turning off my current audio profile in the pavucontrol app, and then re-enabling it. But the distortion just returns again after a few minutes. I've tried different headphones, switching to laptop speakers, etc., but I still get the distortion.I haven't been able to figure out which component or configuration setting is causing it, and haven't seen any currently open bug reports or any mentions in the Arch forums or here on the mailing list that describe anything similar. Has anyone else been experiencing anything like this and/or know what the cause or solution might be?
Hi!I experienced exactly this for a long time using pipewire/wireplumber... since who knows when. Distortion in my case was constant, even when an idle desktop (sway), but became extremely and *uncomfortably* noticeable in Firefox. It became so frustrating (and I couldn't find any solution) that I ended up migrating to PulseAudio altogether.
I came to the (unproven) suspicion that it's something related to my card (an integrated Intel Corporation 7 Series/C216) and with how PipeWire emulates PulseAudio...
