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.

    Thanks. I didn't have much time until now, but 10 minutes playing SuperTuxKart saw exactly zero audio glitches, and playing The Outer Worlds right after it, started glitching again. It really looks to be Wine/Proton issues, and I was ready to blame the HDMI cables…

        Thanks, but…I'm not so sure. I mean, I'm using the Proton compatibility layer, it's not like they did anything besides providing Windows support, then Valve adding the rest.
