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.
Just for the sake of testing, I went back to PulseAudio…the problem is still here. These are Wine games. And on Windows, they work fine :(
Have you tried using proton via steam?
Yup. Still happens. Tested on Alan Wake.
At this point I would connect a usb audio device. You can get them for $10.
