Does anyone else here use Pipewire with TDE?
I've never used Pipewire until just a few days ago, but I heard lots of good things about it. On Linux, I have an audio issue that wasn't present with OSS on FreeBSD (which makes me think it may be ALSA-related), where the sound likes to "pop" randomly. It's especially annoying when listening to music or playing games. I thought it may just be ALSA/Pulseaudio, but even with Pipewire (which is supposed to harmonously combine all sound systems) I still have the popping. I guess with TDE on top of the mix I have ALSA, Arts, and Pulseaudio installed.
I am running Debian Sid and followed a guide on fixing the "pop" in Pipewire. Most of the tweaks I tried are in pipewire-pulse.conf (setting pulse.min.freq and pulse.default.freq to lower values) but none of them work. I'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience and figured out how to fix it.

Maybe. Its driving me nuts. I haven't had the problem before from what I can recall, and that's with the same pair of headphones. I think something in the pipewire/pulseaudio/alsa configuration may have changed in Sid but I avoid touching sound settings as much as possible on Linux.. In fact, I've made the problem worse by messing with the pipewire configs (according to some forum advice I found about the same problem).
I'm currently without anything serious on my PC so I'll just try something like Slackware and see if the problem happens there.
