[Donion] [2.0.52] Audio crackling when zoomed out

[Konijnde]

The game audio crackles when zoomed out in editor mode. Testing indicates that the crackling is coming from the music audio channel.

Playing on 2.0.52 on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.

Post a log, please. And if you changed some audio setting, let me know which.
A short clip showing the issue would also be helpful.

When I zoom out in editor mode I don't hear any crackling in the music (or any other sounds).
Does this happen all the time for you or maybe on a specific planet/with specific music track (you can see the track name if you enable the "show-detailed-info" debug option).

This seems to have been (at least partially) fixed by a recent update to pipewire. The log included still has some barely noticable crackling, but much less than before. It does not seem to register on recordings.

Can you try setting the preferred audio driver in Sound Settings to pipewire and check if it changes anything (the log says the pulseaudio driver is used on Factorio side but if you're using pipewire on your desktop, you might get better results if you set the preferred audio driver).
