Hello,
Since a few days ago I noticed that my speaker starts to make some strange clicking noises at random intervals while playing audio. I tried jack and bluetooth too and the problem remains. seemingly it starts at random not just when I start playing audio but while I’m playing audio and it stops if I pause playing but after a while (few seconds) it starts again. I’m using pipewire. Sorry if my explanation is too vague I’ve never had any audio issues yet since I’m using Linux for 3 years now. I don’t know where to collect information or logs or anything and I’d be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
I even tried downgrading the kernel from 6.1 to 5.15 but it didn’t help.
