Linux Finally Has A Fix For Crackling Audio Input On Recent AMD Systems

[Haxk20]

I tried it but it didn't solve the problem of crackling playback using wired headset.
I always crackles in wired headphones even if i don't playback any sound at all.

I have the same issue. (Acer nitro 5 AN515-42). I will report the bug as i use 5.3rc4 and its still an issue. Even tho for me the issue happens only sometimes but its still there.

You can do "lspci -nn" . I would guess that would already be covered by older workarounds...

There is no sound card. But it does not change anything. For my Arch, I kind of found a fix. But I do not have friends in Discord check.

The patch also applies on 4.19... I'm tempted to give it a try.

Edit: Yep, seems to work fine. I'm no longer sounding like Darth Vader in Discord.

The issue now is that discord likes to make your system audio output sound like Darth Vader.

Damn, I thought it's just a bad onboard audio all along. I bought a decent sound card to get rid of the poor microphone quality and now this...

At least you continue to enjoy the decent sound quality compared to on-board audio... Maybe lower latencies as well!

Who can sell chips that don't even work? AMD looks even worse not making sure it works and fixing it.

The chips work just fine, they work in Windows. It's just the linux driver.

There was an additional pci id added for 5.3-rc5 that I think comes from Ryzen APU systems... https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux...b1f6f5277d9373

Many windows users disagree with that.

Ok but related to the AM4 desktop chipset in this issue I've had 0 playback and recording problems on Windows.

You're not everyone.

Which makes AMD look bad because AMD has issues where it doesn't work properly. It's their, and realtek's problem.
