So I have a laptop (lenovo x1 gen 11) and I have 2 sound issues that I would like to resolve.
First when I launch a video , the first second or so only output the high frequencies of the sound and does so every time there is a gap (silence) in the sound witch render really difficult to follow tutorial right now.
The second issue is every time I play sounds even at 0% volume , I hear really faint “pop” 's every second until 2-3 seconds after I end the playback.
I should also mention that while I mainly listen to sound on my laptop hp. I sometimes plug in my RME soundcard on class compliant mode. Not really relevant but I need to set it up on pro mode in pavucontrol to have access to the 22 ins and outs.
I already tried to add
session.suspend-timeout-seconds = 0
to /usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/asla-vm.conf but I feel like It’s not the right file to do that.
It was just the only one I found with the
monitor.alsa.rules = [
tag.
There is no /etc/wireplumber or ~/.config/wireplumber/
as mentioned here
(If someone could point me where I could find specific Manjaro configuration changes from Arch That could be a great help too because I really want to have a try at resolving my issues by myself but the Arch wiki seem to become useless in those cases)
So here I am, what files/command outputs do you guys need?
They don’t exist by default, you have to create them if required (/etc/wireplumber for system-wide configuration or ~/.config/wireplumber for user-specific configuration).
I should need to create ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/51-disable-suspension.conf or /etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/51-disable-suspension.conf but ~/.config/wireplumber/ and /etc/wireplumber/ don’t exist.
If it was just creating the file OK but creation a whole directories tree just to put a file there is wierd AF. Or There is something I really don’t understand here?
and it didn’t work.
But the poc sound didn’t stop at all then . I deleted the file and restart the services. It seems if it is the solution that it’s not the solution to my issues.
So with further testing the pop sound is still always there but the low part of the sound delay is only there on the beginning of a playback. It’s a specific issue with datacamp videos witch “start” a new video on every part of a video to “sync” with the related text file. It’s still an issue but much more of on datacamp than on youtube it seems.
So, I was curious this morning and wanted to verify if it was something I “did” . I launched a live manjaro and surprise: No more wierd spectral activation delay (still a pop sound at activation but no more after media stop , I can live with that).
I really want to understand the issue but maybe a reinstall is less time consuming.
What do you think?
Is there a way to completely clean my install ?
I tried to install manjaro-pulse but I have a big load of depedencies that that forbid me to do that.
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pulse ✔ base

Ok , I found the issue. For me it was a bypassed effect in easyeffect. Deleted it solved the spectral delay issue. I still hear a pop at the beginning of the connection but i can live with that.
