Bluetooth Audio Clipping

[divis]

Hi,

I have a Sony WH1000XM3 connected via bluetooth to a Fiio dac.
I use pipewire.

After the update to kernel 6.13 I had sound hickups in youtube and while gaming terrible distorted sound in cyberpunk. Especially with lots of noise going on e.g. during gunfights etc.

I solved my issues with this post:

Crackling Audio in Steam Games

Did you try real time privileges as mentioned in the wiki? Strongly recommended for Pipewire. This mitigates a lot of the common issues such as audio glitching or cutting out in certain scenarios. Install the following package: sudo pacman -S realtime-privileges Run the following command: sudo gpasswd -a $USER realtime Reboot your system.
