After applying Fedora updates, I got a new issue – this time with HDMI audio.
I connect my laptop to a TV via HDMI to watch Youtube or play music. All fine and dandy. It worked fine until the latest updates. Now the sound will randomly cut off after a while, and I will need to switch audio outputs to get it going again.
I followed the workaround here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Performance-tuning#rlimits
This made it better, but the issue is still present. Is there a better workaround/fix?
This is getting frustrating. I still remember the last time, the battery charge status issue. It is frustrating that applying updates carries a risk of breaking something that was working fine, leaving me with no choice but to wait for it to be fixed.
EDIT: I’m also noticing that when listening to music through my headphones (no HDMI, just the laptop’s headphone jack), I get random-ish crackling. I’m sure this is the same problem at the source, because it wasn’t like this before.
