I am having the funniest issue! Somewhat recently, I have been having my audio crackle and randomly stop, but ONLY in Counter Strike 2 itself. discord (yes i have to use it as all my friends do and wont change) and background applications keep sound going fine, until I unplug and replug my headphones to get sound back in CS. Then It goes for about another 10 minutes until I have to do it again. It feels like its sometimes triggered by a certain gun or grenade sound, and i hear some fizzing and crackling before it happens. No other program does this.
Very weird. I believe I have pulse audio installed. I am not sure how to check if pipewire installed over top of it or what (i read maybe pulse is the issue?) I tried verifying game files which did not help.
Linux mint, newest stable kernel (i forget which)
Any help appreciated…I know linux doesn’t have the best audio situation.
Oh sorry if I wasn’t clear, my mic has no issues, is the audio output that shuts off but only from the game.
It should be I asking sorry, as I didn’t make it quite clear. I could tell it wasn’t the mic, and meant that a similar issue could be happening, noise coming as interference and becoming noticeable as volume is higher.
