High CPU usage causes sound to crackle and become staticy
**System information:
Processor: AMD 9800x3d
GPU: MSI 4090 Surpim Hydro
Motherboard: Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER
Ram: 96GB Corsair Dominator DDR5
Release: bazzite-nvidia-open-stable
Summary**: I've noticed that cpu intensive games or tasks will lead to audio becoming extremely distorted almost like there's DPC latency or the buffer is incorrectly configured on the device.
I did install qwgraph to control connections in pipewire but that shouldn't have had an effect like this. I'm not familiar enough with pipewire to know where the configuration file. Online searches say it should be /etc/pulse or /etc/pipewire but I can't find any configurations there for me to boost the buffers to hopefully overcome this.
Could use some suggestions to try to remedy this
