Terrible Audio Crackling in Indie Games
Several indie games I have tried has terrible audio crackling. It's reactive to game audio, but it plays this crackling instead of actual game audio. It seems to only happen to indie games. Maybe related to Unity, but it doesn't happen to all unity games, so I don't know. It sadly makes the game unplayable as I can't hear any real sounds form the game, and it's really tiring.
I have tried a few launch options like
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 %command% with different values, but no luck.
Any clue? I attached a video of how it sounds, it's the same sound for all games. Any clue? All other sounds still sound normal while this is happening.Solution:Jump to solution
Update: I managed to fix this, I realized no one else was having this problem, figured it must be something unique to me. And it was. I have my headphones connected to a preamp, and in Linux's sound settings, instead of selecting the preamp's sound profile I set it to "Default Alsa Profile".
