Audio pops and crackles only when in performance mode (lm.put.tf)

Hi, I have currently arch installed with power-profiles-daemon, pipewire and wireplumber on my laptop.

If I have the power profile set to balanced or power saver, everything is fine.

However, when I set it to performance, the audio starts having very bad cracks and pops.

Has anyone experienced something similar with their setup?

Thanks.

I had a similar problem: the audio started creaking when the computer was on heavy load and wouldn't stop until the pipewire service was restarted. I was using linux-zen kernel and I read that this was a known issue of linux 6.4, if I remember well. Using linux-lts solved the problem. Hope this helps!

Update: Moving form Zen to regular 6.5.4 kernel greatly reduced the number and intensity of crackles. Unfortunatly, moving from regular to 6.1 lts remained with the same reduced crackles.
