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.
Update!
Haven’t tried the longterm kernel yet. There was a firmware update for my headset and I was hopeful this would fix my problem. I’m still have that problem, but I’ve noticed that the issue only happens after opening the discovery store. Dmesg doesn’t get flooded with those hid-generic messages unless I open the discovery store, and the only way to stop it is a reset. Idk if this is useful information.
I also ran journalctl -f to see if there were anymore hints there and go this message: fedora elisa[121767]: No sample format supported found for device "alsa_output.usb-SteelSeries_SteelSeries_Arctis_Nova_5-00.iec958-stereo"
