I don't know if this can be done in linux as i'm super new to bazzite etc, but you could try changing the Audio Bitrate to a lower/or higher and see if that solves it (I've also not familer with asrocks boards as I've NEVER had a good experiance with one in my entire life doing IT) I know having the drives not on NTFS is a big thing (I had a drive still on NTFS and it was causing all sorts of problems under bazz)

My dad said he just let bazzite do it's thing. And replaced windows. He thought bazzite would format it
