Description of Problem:
I hear severe clipping-like distortion on material that is not actually clipping, neither regular nor true peak.
How Reproducible:
I seem to be getting it every day but it also goes away sometimes. I could not yet determine the relevant condition. I had it with both media-session and wireplumber. I had it with both only pipewire-alsa and only pipewire-pulse.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Just play some music. I find that this song makes it very apparent: https://youtu.be/Iw_JYNcnPuY
Actual Results:
Distortion.
Expected Results:
No distortion.
