Yesterday I ran
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
to upgrade to kernel version 5.15.0-73-generic x86_64
before I shut down my computer. Today I joined a discord call with friends to play videogames, and while I could hear them, they could not hear me. I opened sound to see what was going on with my microphone. I saw that it just created random noise. I went to discord to listen to what it sounded like in User Settings --> Voice & Video. I noticed it was not producing a constant static noise, but a sound that I could hear at seemingly random intervals, a sound that I find hard to describe.I use PulseEffects for noise cancellation when I record something with OBS, however, I set it to run at startup so I never have to start it manually. Furthermore, I set a default sink and source in
/etc/pulse/default.pa
, because every time I used to boot my system it automatically selected the wrong input and output device.I rebooted the system a few times today but it did not seem to work. I also tried
pulseaudio -k
a couple of times and tried closing PulseEffects, etc. but it did not seem to do much. Sometimes I could get rid of the noise by closing and opening PulseEffects and Sound and performing pulseaudio -k
in a certain order, but i did not get any further than that.I believe this is an issue with the kernel I am currently using, because the problem arised after upgrading to the kernel I am currently using, but it could be anything, as I am not at all experienced enough yet to issue the right commands and find out what went wrong myself. I would love to be able to talk to my friends again and record videos, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
