Hi guys! So I seem to have audio issues. Audio will mute for like 5 seconds every 20 seconds or so. It’s very annoying, as it can make you miss whole parts of dialog. It only happens on linux, and only on gaming, so I guess it means the amp/surround system is ok. I use the TV HDMI output for audio, as it gets redirected to the 5.1 amp via ARC. This works flawlessly for most scenarios, but somehow it seems to get into trouble when in games. I’ve tried so far games based on Proton (Cyberpunk, Alan Wake…original, not remake). I’m using lates KDE Neon, with Pipewire. What would you recommend to check? If I boot back to WiIndows, the games run fine.

    I gave up with pipewire and just switched to pulseaudio. All issues gone.

      Thanks…I might have to do just that. Everybody talked about pipewire like it’s the solution to everything…but it clearly also brings bugs.

          Nah, I switched because of bluetooth stuttering issues on PulseAudio, I think when switching to AptX. At any rate, on Pipewire BT worked flawlessly.
