Trying to talk to a friend on Discord. My microphone constantly connects and disconnects for no reason… I know for a fact its not hardware related issue because under my Windows partition it does not happen…
When it disconnects, my friend says he can hear himself.
I’m new to Linux so i have no idea what to do, didn’t try anything except of Google searching…
My guess would be that it is the powersave functions being a bit too aggressive and putting the sound card into a low-power mode when it thinks there is no sound being transmitted. But that is just a guess. I’d try setting the powersave settings to “performance”.
If you want to temporarily disable power saving for just your sound card, you could do something like the following.
[/home/gregory]$ echo N | sudo tee /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save_controller
N
[/home/gregory]$ cat /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save_controller
N
The N value should then stick until you reboot.
P.S. If you have a different model sound card, you will need to change snd_hda_intel accordingly (lsmod might provide a clue as to what the name of your sound driver is).
