Reportedly crackling voice output

[jonaseberle]

Problem

During yesterday's session several pilots reported that my voice would "cut off" or be "crackling".

I checked with TeamSpeak's test function and verified that my microphone sound was clear (it plays back the audio to the output device).

I shortly disconnected and checked with VectorAudio's test, too. This looked also good.

I also checked that no CPU core was at 100% and that the network was not clogged.
I was able to receive voice from other ATC and pilots fine.
But after that I was out of ideas. Reconnecting did not improve the situation.

Do you have an idea what I could check next in such a situation?

System

Manjaro, Linux 5.15, currently using pipewire(I switched to that as a primary sound system because in my previous attempted session with pulseaudio I was not able to get any microphone output)

Bluetooth audio headset

Currently these VectorAudio settings:

I am closing this since that is most possibly unrelated to VectorAudio.
I've seen it mentioned as a regression with pipewire and bluetooth somewhere in a changelog that ought to be fixed by now (something about wrong audio stream metadata regarding codec/bitrate) (I can't find it anymore though).

I think the ALSA backend might be culprit there, it’s not very stable, this is all due to the library afv_native uses.
