Hi guys! So I seem to have audio issues. Audio will mute for like 5 seconds every 20 seconds or so. It's very annoying, as it can make you miss whole parts of dialog. It only happens on linux, and only on gaming, so I guess it means the amp/surround system is ok. I use the TV HDMI output for audio, as it gets redirected to the 5.1 amp via ARC. This works flawlessly for most scenarios, but somehow it seems to get into trouble when in games. I've tried so far games based on Proton (Cyberpunk, Alan Wake…original, not remake). I'm using lates KDE Neon, with Pipewire. What would you recommend to check? If I boot back to WiIndows, the games run fine.
Siiiigh. Seems the monitor earphones plug is busted (physically broken, just found out). The one on the PC is too hidden, it's behind the TV and quite some meters away from where the actual keyboard/mouse etc are. Not a good option :(
You might be able to get an AUX extension cord for cheap at your local tech store. Would be suboptimal, but for anything better, you might need to rearrange your setup.
