My Framework desktop 128GB BIOS 3.04 works fine in Windows, but with Fedora 43 Workstation (Gnome) and Silverblue often when the audio is idle I get a very loud buzzing from the speakers plugged in to the back. This does not happen at all in Windows. I’ve tried various solutions trying to prevent the audio from going into power saving mode with limited success. Sometimes I think the fix works but only for awhile. It will happen even if I haven’t logged in but after booting. Sometimes it doesn’t happen at all, but most of the time it did within seconds of sound stopping. Playing anything stops it, and the buzzing is significantly louder than whatever I was playing. It doesn’t look like I can attach an audio recording so I’ll take a video and add it tomorrow. This is loud enough to be heard anywhere in either level of the house.
I have to keep my speakers muted when switching to Fedora, which is really disappointing with this new desktop.

I’ve submitted a support request so we will see what they come up with. I took this video of what is happening and included the link with the request. It was to big to attach, so here is the Proton link for it if anyone else is experiencing something similar. Note that I am not adjusting the volume levels between when the “buzz” is happening and the music is playing in this video.
