This issue seems to crop up every now an then and IDK what I gotta do to fix it. I’m using wireless headphones with a mic and it uses a usb dongle that connects to it through a 2.4ghz signal. I already ruled out wireless interference. I’m convinced this is either a hardware or software problem. For the most part the audio will sound fine but ever 10-ish seconds the audio with get crunchy and distorted for a brief moment, it does this over and over again tho. Every time this happens this message pop into my console while using dmesg: hid-generic 0003:1038:2232.0137: hiddev98,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [SteelSeries SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5] on usb-0000:00:14.0-2.1/input3
This never happens while I’m using Linux Mint either.
Restarting the computer seems to fix it for a time, but it will start happening again eventually. Just how its been for a while for me. I also tried another usb port and had the same results.
Does restarting the user services for pipewire and wireplumber make any difference when the issue is occuring? systemctl restart --user pipewire\* wireplumber\*
Does changing the power profile change your indications?
I tried all the available kernel versions included with my install. I think they were versions 6.17.9, 6.17.8, and 6.17.7 . Each one still has the same issues with my headset audio. Maybe it isn’t a kernel issue? Idk what to try next tho. Maybe I’ll try the long term kernel too. Was just scared of messing something up.
