From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hum, don't know if this is a pipewire issue or if the DeskMini has too bad shielding (then again, DAC is outside via USB-C). But each time i have slightly huge CPU load, audio starts glitching with crackling to the point of failing altogether until restart of the audio server.
Do you have FluidSynth installed? I had similar issues recently - I just have a script that restarts pipewire automatically on login.
does this also happen with pure alsa (i.e. no pulse or pipewire)
Right, need to check that.
I also have a DAC connected via USB to my laptop but I have never experienced this. Which distro are you on?
Artix, basically Arch. Replaced Pulseaudio with Pipewire as user service. Same issue with PA tho.
