Pipewire errors/crackling popping. I'm at a loss at what to do.

Desperately need some help. In some games, audio will like skip or briefly stop/pop for like a brief second. Sometimes opening the volume button in KDE will cause static aswell. I ran
systemctl --user status pipewire
systemctl --user status pipewire
and there are errors. Screenshot attached.
I am on Bazzite Nvidia Desktop image.

Solution
I think I've found the solution. In
pipewire.conf 
pipewire.conf 
change
default.clock.min-quantum
default.clock.min-quantum
to
default.clock.min-quantum   = 2048
default.clock.min-quantum   = 2048
and the audio crackle is gone.

But I have a question, is this number safe to leave? Will it cause any issues or delay in applications? Should I still leave this at defaults?
#default.clock.quantum       = 1024
#default.clock.quantum       = 1024
