Audio cutting through HDMI on GPU
Hey everyone, I installed bazzite a few days ago, and I'm having a significant audio stutter/cutting in and out when playing games in game mode. I noticed it mainly in star wars battlefront ii (2017) and starfield. I'm playing on a TV and the only way I can use audio is through HDMI on my 7700xt.

Same issue here. I have a RTX 4070 ti super. I built a console type system for use with my TV and the only audio output I have on my device is the HDMI from my GPU. I've been searching all over for a solution but reading this makes me think that there is maybe a problem with bazzite that isn't experienced often as perhaps a lot of people are not using HDMI as their method of audio output. Oddly a reboot seems to temporarily clear up the problem but it does seem to return after 15-20ish minutes.
I found a solution, don't know if this'll work with your nvidia card but I installed LACT by typing in the terminal: "ujust install-lact" without quotes and set the highest clock speed for your GPU. This got rid of the audio issue for me
That's great to know. I switched to windows because of all the minor bugs I was having with the Nvidia build but I have every intention of going back to Bazzite at some point. I'll definitely try this trick when I do. Thanks a ton for the follow-up!
