Why does pipewire suspend audio sources by default? This causes a popping sound everytime audio turns back on (~5 seconds).
It took me a while to figure out how to fix this the first time and is a nuisance for anyone trying to learn linux.
That really would depend on the quality of hardware and drivers. Only more than 10 years ago did I got that and it was a weird laptop barely working would linux.
As far as why it does it, I could only speculate (probably inaccurately). As far as the popping is concerned, I've never encountered that with any distro I've used, even with some seriously goofy routing. Do you have some weird setup causing the issue?
I have a wired Logitech x-540 setup with front left/right and a sub plugged into their respective ports on the mobo.
I have to remove the suspend node on my mint and endeavor setup.
I think I have the same issue on fedora using my tv's speakers via HDMI. I pause a video foe 10 seconds and when I resume the audio takes a moment to cut back in with a slight pop. Its kinda irritating ๐
How did you remove the suspend node?
For Mint, comment out
-- load_script("suspend-node.lua")in /usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/90-enable-all.luaFor Arch, add
in /usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf
adding to restart wireplumber
systemctl --user restart wireplumberin konsoleI'm not familiar with fedora but hopefully that helps you out.
Huh, I wonder what it is about that setup that causes the popping
