Crackling sound in Zoom since 0.3.44

  • PipeWire version (pipewire --version): 0.3.44
  • Distribution and distribution version (PRETTY_NAME from /etc/os-release): Arch Linux
  • Desktop Environment: GNOME 41.3
  • Kernel version (uname -r): 5.16.2-arch1-1

Description of Problem:

After upgrading from pipewire-pulse 0.3.43 to 0.3.44, there is a ton of crackling in Zoom. This is the only application I've found that has the problem, everything else seem fine.

As soon as the crackling sound starts, I see tons of OVERFLOW errors in journalctl. I've attached a 200 line example but it goes on until I close Zoom entirely.

Downgrading pipewire-pulse to 0.3.43 fixes the problem. It might worth noting also that with 0.3.43, I do see exactly 2 OVERFLOW errors, one for each channel but that's it.

How Reproducible:

Always reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Launch Zoom
  2. Go to Audio Settings
  3. Press "Test Speaker"

Actual Results:

The test jingle is crackling / distorted

Expected Results:

The test jingle is clear
