From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mint 22 external speaker static (lemm.ee)

I hope crosspost is okay here.

Hi there, linux noob here. I have managed to install Mint 22, dual boot with win11. Everything seems to be working great, except one small problem that keeps me from using mint.
Whenever my computer is not playing a sound, after about 6 seconds, my external speakers will start playing static until a noise is played (a song or even just pressing vol +/-).
I've searched around a bit, but haven't found anything to fix it so far. I've looked on Mint forums (and asked questions but probably did it wrong cuz nobody responded). I used GPT a bit and I think that might have been a mistake. I timeshifted back to revert any changes cuz it's scary.
I ended up getting the powersave mode to turn off in PulseAudio, but that didn't fix it either.
Any suggestions or ideas would be tremendously appreciated. I kinda just gave up for a bit and am back on windows, which is quite unfortunate, I'm sure you'll agree.
I'm on a Nitro AN515-58, let me know if any more info would be helpful.

Many (most?) Ubuntu fixes also work on Mint. This post might help.
