Steam Deck Audio Crackles After Waking Up
On Bazzite, whenever I put my steam deck to suspend and then wake up my steam deck, the audio starts to crackle and speed up in a distorted way for a few seconds until it either goes back to normal, or the audio is messed up until you close the game and relaunch it. This also happens in the regular Gaming Mode UI without any other games or programs running. I do not use Decky Loader or any plugins for Steam.

is it the audio that come out of the integrated speakers?
yes
I haven't tested the headphone jack audio in a while
so I forgot
I notice the same thing. It happens on integrated speakers and HDMI output. If the crackling doesn't stop, what has worked for me is putting it to sleep again and waking it up. Then, it will crackle -> speed up -> stop. It could be several tries though but still better than restarting the game as I could lose progress.
