Bug 2230757

The problem happens around 40-50 minutes of CPU light programs like Spotify, that emit audio, or 10-20 minutes of CPU heavy programs that emit audio like video games. My audio will go from sounding normal, to sounding robotic and compressed and generally very unpleasant, and when this happens both my laptop speakers and any wired headphones plugged in through the laptops 3.5mm headphone jack are affected, but any headphones connected via Bluetooth are unaffected. 

Trying different headphones, or unplugging and replugging them did not fix the problem (if I was using headphones at the time). I have noticed this issue in every program I use that emits audio – Gnome Music, Amberol, Spotify, Discord or Skype Voice Calls, and both Linux Native Games Like Team Fortress 2 and Minecraft, and games running through Wine/Proton Like Payday 2, Just Cause 3 and Bloons Tower Defense 6. 

This problem usually goes away after 20-30 minutes, but will then come back after another 10-30 minutes depending on the CPU load. Sometimes however, it will not go until a reboot or if I run “ systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse and systemctl --user daemon-reload” in a terminal. 

My pipewire version is 0.3.77, and wirepipe version is  0.4.14. 
My audio chip is: Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller (rev 20)

My laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro 14ITL6 . This problem has been found in both Fedora Workstation 38 and Fedora Silverblue 38. Windows 11 on a separate partition does not have this issue. 

The Rest Of My Computers Specs Currently: 
OS: Fedora Linux 38.20230808.0 (Silverblue) x86_64 
Kernel: 6.4.7-200.fc38.x86_64

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch An Application With Audio (Prefferbly One With Heavy CPU usage Like A Video Game).
2. Wait 10-60 minutes, depending on CPU load.
3. Audio Issue Occurs.
Actual Results:  
The sound to both my speakers and headphone jack sounds robotic and compressed.

Expected Results:  
The sound should exactly as intended from the speakers without the robotic compression.
