Not sure if this will solve your problems as well, crackling sounds like hardware to me. But Max_P suggested deleting the pipewire and wireplumber folders and restarting, that fixed it!
Comment on [Help] Swapped nvme from old deck into new deck, now headphones don't work
overload@sopuli.xyz 4 days agoThanks mate, same. I struggled to find people talking about it online. To be honest it’s not a terrible problem for me. Use Bluetooth most of the time.

No worries.
Yeah I’ve used Bluetooth before, but the lag is always noticeable for me. I can ignore it on something like HZD or HFW, but I’ve been playing Fretless lately, so musical timing is key.
My wired headphones always stay in the steam case waiting for me, never need charged or fussed with, they just work. Plus I got an old school pair, big drivers that sit in your ear, not in your ear canal, so I can still hear the world around me without needing passthrough or whatever it’s called. The only loss is a little less bass 🤷♂️
