I thought it was when I switched over to pipewire, but no. I've got severe audio crackling problems now and I want to go back to pulse for all it's faults.

Supposedly, you can correct that by modifying the config. There's some kind of issue with the default settings.

I wish I could give you more info, but somebody had the same problem, and another user said it was the default config that needed to be tweaked.

Oh, it's got other issues than that, but the crackling is the most unnerving.

Some of the audio from my Jellyfin media player (flatpak) just hasn't been playing. So I check Helvum and sometimes it just doesn't even patch it over. I got the deb of JMP installed and that seems to have made it behave, but the maintainer of JMP hasn't made that easy with all sorts of weird patches and junk.

My only issue with pulse audio was that I had to open Pulse effects each time I restarted my computer because it wouldn't auto load the settings.
