Crackling/distorted sound from SB

After installation I noticed that all that comes through the speaker is either crackling/distorted maybe due to a very high volume or mute. I tried some pulseaudio tips such as going into etc/pulse/default.pa and editing it to include tsched=0. Still no fix to my problem.

Hi, not sure if it’s the same issue as I experienced, but in my case it was due to the kernel (5.3.16), not any other component! You can install an alternative kernel like this:

rpm-ostree override replace https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/5.4.5/300.fc31/x86_64/kernel-5.4.5-300.fc31.x86_64.rpm https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/5.4.5/300.fc31/x86_64/kernel-core-5.4.5-300.fc31.x86_64.rpm https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/5.4.5/300.fc31/x86_64/kernel-modules-5.4.5-300.fc31.x86_64.rpm

I’m not sure if that will make a permanent override, i.e. the kernel will remain at that version and will never be upgraded. But it worked for me, FWIW.

Best wishes,
