Description of Problem:
When using Line-In from another device to get playback from them (Line-In plugged into Monitor with PS5 audio for example), with pw-loopback the audio from Line-in gets extremely distorted/choppy. Especially when having pavucontrol/obs open.
How Reproducible:
Every time I use pw-loopback or helvum/other patchbays to link the Line In to my sound output. Does not happen at all with arecord, to record my Line-In
Steps to Reproduce:
- Start pw-loopback and select right device in pavucontrol/link line-in to output device in a patchbay
- Start playback on connected device.
- Wait a few seconds.
Actual Results:
Audio is completely distorted/choppy, especially when having pavucontrol/obs/any other recording program open.
Expected Results:
Audio from line in being looped back to my output device sucessfully, without distortion or any choppiness.

Edit: removed the arecord file because of possible copyright, the OBS recording is the same song, but it is very distorted, let me know if that is still an issue.
