Heavily Crackly/Crunchy audio on a Nvidia System
So ever since i switched first to aurora i had some crackly audio problems. A helpful person on here helped me realize i installed the wrong ISO so i rebased to the Nvidia version, after that i rebased to Bazzite so there's been two rebases total.
The headphones i use are Steelseries Arctis Nova 1 plugged into the rear IO.
i've also tried using bluetooth headphones but the audio still crackled.
I did assume the issue was my headphones just being broken cause they have went through a lot already but then still how would that affect the bluetooth ones?
I've tested different browsers and different apps but seems like the issue persists everywhere. Wayland, X11, its all affected.

hell i even tried to see if unplugging the headphones while using bluetooth helped but nah it didn't
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK
ITS FIXED
ok i guess all this was unnescesary since it just fixed with some update i guess???
im so confused
Glad it's working now, might be something with the USB port used. If it happens again maybe try a different USB 3 port if you are able
oh no im using audio jacks not usb ports for the headphones
ok no i have compared between windows and linux and i do have crunchier audio on linux
so something is up definitely
for example my discord is extremely bass boosted when it doesn't do that on windows... perhaps its an issue with drivers or the audio engine
both my mic and my audio
ok so... what is going on here
so do i have pulseaudio through pipewire or what???
