[SOLVED] Any audio crackles on Fedora 42 (kernel 6.14.3)

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

I am experiencing strong inconsistent sound crackling from any audio source, independently of the sound reproduction hardware—I tested both with wired headphones, Bluetooth headphones, and the laptop’s speakers.

Any ideas? Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

Nevermind, the suggestions that automatically pop up after filling in a support request seem to have done the job:

sudo dnf reinstall pipewire
sudo dnf reinstall alsa-lib alsa-utils
systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse
