[SOLVED] Audio problem on linux

Operating system: archlinux-lts
Game version: 0.74.4
CPU: AMD A8-7410
Audio: pipewire-pulse (i have to use this. killme)

Audio stutters, overlaps(ear raping me) and sometimes completely shuts off. In the main menu the audio bug worsens every button selected. Ingame, different from the menu, it takes longer for it to go through its cycles: crackle → crackle+repeated overlapped audio → crackle+~5 overlaps(audio volume stacks - earrape) → to either → issue disappears but then starts up again → no more audio.

Etterna’s performance on my system compared to other rhythm game clients is very playable, that’s why I can’t give up now.

I’ve changed pipewire-pulse’s buffer(quantum) and frequency to a bunch of different values, inbetween making sure I restarted the service to apply the changes.

I could take a recording if you all need it.

yeah this is just a pipewire issue, i’d probably say to swap SoundDevices in Save/Preferences.ini to like Pulse, Jack, or handle pipewire’s configuration if changing it didn’t fix the issue.

yayyy that worked

thank u <3 :3
