I have this loud annoying clicking sound mostly whenever stopping and starting audio. Especially annoying when stopping YouTube videos. Happens with any audio outside of Firefox also though. I have tried every fix under the sun but nothing works. I do not hear any such clicking noises when pausing videos on Windows. A fairly standard Arch install using Pipewire / Wireplumber.
Also I don't know if its related, but scrolling the audio icon up/down on KDE also has very loud, crackling, bad sounding audio.

What is causing this terrible sound?
There also seems to be a kernel bug report that sounds like a similar issue

EDIT:
I found this interesting information about pipewire filters, and one called Draining, which sounds like it may help with my popping issue on playback/pausing.
But, I've tried for a few hours now. And I just cannot figure out how to properly setup these pipewire filters, and everytime I try, my audio just breaks. Anyone have any clue?
