I mean, the title really says it all. It occurs seemingly at random, but not all the time and I’ve been unable to determine any pattern to it… I’m using the latest proton stable version and pipewire-pulse for audio. Any ideas on how to fix it?

    I was running Bazzite on my Deck, which uses pipewire(-pulse?), and it had intermittent audio crackling. I swapped back to SteamOS some time ago, which I believe uses just PulseAudio, and the audio crackling is gone. I suspect either there’s something funky going on with the default config, or there’s something wrong with pipewire-pulse itself.

    Either way, hopefully someone can corroborate or that can help point you in the right direction.
