I am using a somewhat minimal installation of Arch-Linux on Nvidia-Hyprland. I am using the base install of Discord and I have PipeWire installed with Easy Effects running, along with some EQ settings for my BeyerDynamics DT 770 80ohm headphones. Every time I join a call in Discord, all the sounds are crackling until I leave. I have restarted PipeWire multiple times and I have disabled my Easy Effects settings and fully closed the application, but the issue persists. I appreciate any help I can get. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to Linux.
Ran into a similar problem on Ubuntu a while back, was the sound card being put into power saving mode by default. Maybe worth checking if you can turn off any power savings with your install.
How can I check that? Is there a program that I can use or a command?
According to the Arch Linux wiki, power-saving mode for my audio card is disabled by default. I have not enabled it yet, therefore it is not currently available as an option.
