[random vessel]

i chose "off" in the parameters

to test smh
and it vanished

[narrow spruce]

what's your operating system, plain arch linux?

[random vessel]

basic arch

[narrow spruce]

have you tried rebooting and turning it back on?

do you have pipewire or what pulseaudio do you have installed

[random vessel]

i did that
now the problem is that my audio switches between nothing and my headset (so like i dont hear anything for 5 secs

[random vessel]

nope

should i ?

[narrow spruce]

yeah pipewire is better than pulse imo

it fixed my sound

my mic use to sound like shit on discord

pipewire-pulse is the package you want

and remove pulseaudio after
