random popping sounds after update

It's been over a year since this problem was solved. It reappeared. My speakers just pop either right before playing sound or just randomly without any triggers.

I'm using pipewire, wireplumber and kde plasma.

My speakers are plugged on my monitor. My monitor is plugged via hdmi. The playback device is set as "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output". Today, i think more playback devices option showed up: digital surround 5.1 and digital surround 7.1. Not sure if they were there or not before.

these are my last 2 updates i made:

Re: random popping sounds after update

ive made some observations..  yesterday the popping was gone after an hour or two. Then, this morning, it came back after a system update and a reboot. strange huh? note: when it pops, it doesnt matter if i reboot or not. it will still be there.

Re: random popping sounds after update

Disable power saving on snd_hda_intel via e.g. /etc/modprobe.d/disablePowerSave.conf

options snd_hda_intel power_save=0

and/or disable suspension of the audio device in pulseaudio/pipewire like e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseAudio#guvcview (it's the concept that matters, gucview is irrelevant) or https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … g_playback  if on pipewire.

Re: random popping sounds after update

Thanks! I've tried that and I will report back if that fixed the issue or not!

Re: random popping sounds after update

Yeah, same, the kernel option fixed it for me.

The wiki solution no longer works after the pipewire update.

Year of the Linux Desktop, people.
