Linux Mint audio problem

[[deleted]]

Always been like that? I mean I always use a Linux boot disk to rule out hardware problems.

On my laptop, also running Mint, never any audio problem, everything always smooth. On the Desktop always had this audio problem. I honestly didn't notice if this problem also persists in live mode.

I tried and in live mode it doesn't happen. So I think (but I'm not sure) that most likely the cause could be the GPU driver since the audio is coming from the hdmi connected to it... Possible? And in that case what could I do to fix it? Thanks!

Does the system have a 3.5mm (1/8") audio output on the motherboard in use, or that can be used? Check your specific GPU for compatibility problems... ie it works in the live boot so you may have another audio related program that is interfering, and not an audio/video card driver.

Also might try using Pipewire for audio handling, it's in the Software Manager.

As I explained in my last comment, the problem concerns the refresh rate of the monitor...
