Description of Problem:
I have an headless pc with just xfce to run an instance of spotify and my equalizer connected to my stereo and every time i try to interact with the pc or by reproducing some music via spotify or by connecting something by bluetooth or by connecting with anydesk to the pc it makes a really loud pop that makes my amplifier clip, after that sound it works fine but it happens always. The sound is very similar to the one that my steam deck makes when i open the audio applet in desktop mode but its way louder here.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install on arch linux xfce, linux lts, pipewire pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa pipewire-pulseaudio then for the music spotify-adblock the equalizer is jamesdsp, anydesk and ssh for remote control, bluez and blueberry for the bluetooth 2. Connect the pc to any set of speakers (i didn't try headphones) 3. Connect to the pc via anydesk or, spotify-connect or via bluetooth 4. The pc should make the loud sound as soon as it gets connected to anything 5. All the settings were left on default except turning the volume to the maximum in pavucontrol

:pw-dump.log - The issue happening. In this video after connecting spotify connect to the pc you can hear that as soon as i click play a very loud sound plays and then the music starts playing from one amplifier because the second one clipped and after that tick (it's from the amplifier after turning itself on again) the music plays fine and i doesn't get that loud noise and i can start and stop without issues. The laptop is connected via ssh to the pc and i left pw top if it can help. I even tried connecting my steam deck to that pc with bluetooth and as soon as i changed the output device it made that noise again and then worked fine. VID20230720145257
