Issue created Jun 28, 2021 by Erik Reider@ErikReider

Static noise when using module-loopback but not with pw-loopback

Edit: latency_msec=20 seems to fix this

Version, Distribution, Desktop Environment:

  • Manjaro unstable repos
  • pipewire-git: 0.3.31.2.g5497d2d9-1
  • pipewire-jack: 1:0.3.30-2
  • pipewire-media-session-git: 0.3.31.2.g5497d2d9-1
  • pipewire-pulse-git: 0.3.31.2.g5497d2d9-1
  • sway-git: r6718.5cdce42d-1

Description of Problem:

When loading the module-loopback module using pactl the desktop audio (firefox, discord, etc...) sometimes emits a little bit of noise. The noise disappears when using pw-loopback instead. I only seem to run into this issue when using my motherboard's audio (Gigabyte X470 Gaming 5). When using pactl and loading the module with the regular pulseaudio installed (instead of pipewire-pulse), everything works as expected.

This somehow doesn't affect the audio being looped back, in my case being my Nintendo Switch.

How Reproducible:

This could be an incompatibility with my mobo and pipewire-pulse's pactl?

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Run pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1

Actual Results:

Noise while listening to anything.

Expected Results:

Clean audio
