Crackling Sound On Retroarch (Using Pipewire) On A GNOME Session

Whenever I attempt to run games on Retroarch inside of a GNOME session, usually it crackles to the point where audio can't be properly enjoyed.

To clarify, I am using Pipewire with the `pulse` audio driver inside of Retroarch, this does not usually occur when running Retroarch on other Desktop Environments or standalone Window Managers.

Thanks in advance, Cheers!

No, the issue is with audio coming directly out of my monitor's speakers; I haven't tested out any headphones yet, let alone Bluetooth ones.

Okay, just checking.  I find that Gnome does that if a window showing nearby devices is open.
