In case anyone is using Debian Testing/Unstable and experiencing audio issues, I thought I’d share this.
Until the bugs get fixed, there are two workarounds:
- Uninstall FluidSynth
- Add
systemctl --user restart pipewire
to your session startup; this eliminates the problem.
As I want FluidSynth, I went with the latter.

Ubuntu had a general crackling issue introduced last year, an issue around a buffer size which I fixed by copying
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf
To ~/.config/pipewire
Uncomment
pulse.min.quantum = 128/48000
And increase to 512/48000. Restart.
systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse
Increase buffer until stuttering ends. Note this also introduces delay to audio.
Perhaps your issue is something similar? I wouldn’t blindly make these changes on your end, but maybe it’s something to search up on.
