Public bug reported: Since the update to Linux 6.8.0-50-generic, HDMI/DP audio output crackles and skips, and is completely unusable. This is via an AMD Radeon RX 550 using the default amdgpu driver.
I have no issues with my USB DAC or the analog and SPDIF outputs of my onboard sound card. They all work fine. I think the issue has something to do with buffer sizes reported to Pipewire / Wireplumber. For instance, when I run `speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D hw:2,8` the output sounds fine. But when I set Pipewire to output via the HDMI/DP output using GNOME, the audio skips and crackles immensely. Lowering the quantum size with `pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force- quantum 8` helps a bit, but the audio is still far from perfect. Rebooting and selecting Linux 6.8.0-49-generic in GRUB completely solves the issue, so I am 100% sure this is a regression in the latest kernel.
