Description Nicolás Waby 2025-08-15 14:46:38 UTC
Whenever I move my mouse, I hear a faint buzzing through the headphones. I reduced the amount of buzzing by plugging the headphones into the front io on my case, but I am convinced this is not a hardware issue as I dual boot windows and I have no issues on there. I don't know much about audio but maybe it could have something to do with the buffers? I'm not sure if this is the right place to report the bug or if it has nothing to do with the kde community, but I would like to fix it as it is quite annoying.

Indeed, this has nothing to do with KDE.

Audio buzzing is almost certainly a hardware issue; it's caused by electrical noise from nearby system components that isn't properly shielded from from the audio wires or electronics.

It's possible that it only manifests under specific circumstances, or that there's a workaround on windows in the form of de-noising audio processing, or something like that.

Regardless, I'm afraid there's nothing KDE can do about it.

Thank you for the information. Also, it appears it works on windows because I had to restart the system to be able to boot it, and the restart probably reset something in the hardware that stopped the issue, as now it has stopped in linux
