I've been encountering a frustrating audio issue across various Linux distributions, including the one I'm currently using, Bazzite. It seems that every time I turn on my Orca screen reader or play a game, I experience annoying clipping and distortion in the audio. This problem isn't limited to just one machine or distribution; it's something I've faced consistently with Linux. I've been accustomed to Windows for over 20 years, so I'm a bit lost here. I've wondered if it could be a gain issue where audio levels might be exceeding 100% volume, but I'm not sure how to resolve it. I'd love to get some suggestions on how to troubleshoot or configure my audio settings—perhaps to lower the overall volume cap? Any insights would be much appreciated!

I stumbled upon a thread that might help you. It’s specifically about audio clipping and has some potential solutions. You can check it out here: discuss.kde.org/t/audio-clipping-how-to-fix-that/15943.
Have you thought about trying different headphones? Sometimes certain pairs can cause issues like this, but if you're experiencing the same problem across different models, it could definitely relate to the operating system.
Check if you're using the KDE desktop environment. There’s an option to let the volume go past 100%, and that could be causing the clipping. Also, dive into alsamixer in the terminal and see if any features like 'boost bass' are enabled. It's worth checking out any settings in PipeWire with qpwgraph as well—especially if you're playing around with AI settings. Don’t forget to see if there are any effects or equalizers set up in EasyEffects. Lastly, keep your system updated and inspect your speakers for any damage.
