Expected Behavior
For my mic not to stutter or make any cutting sounds on linux when recording.
Current Behavior
Currently will randomly cut or "stutter" on the mic audio on linux/pipewire.
Steps to Reproduce
- Be on a linux distro that defaults to pipewire
- Record the mic in obs studio with a audio interface, i am using a focusrite 2i2 gen4 but it also happens on the behringer um2 aswell
- I am using a podmic via a xlr cable but it can also happen on my at2020 mic aswell
...
Anything else we should know?
Here is a example of the cutting sound that occurs in this video at 5:37, this has been occurring for many years now on different mics and audio interfaces, i dont have a log of this occurring as it is hard to reproduce but i can show many examples of videos i have uploaded over the past 2 years or so of it happening.

If this is a pipewire problem i will report to them aswell.
