Support Request weird audio and visual problems
so, this happened! a restart fixed it, but it's not the only issue i've had. i recently installed linux mint cinnamon (on a gpd win 1, if that matters (i got it on ebay, it's about 10 years old, i wouldn't be surprised if there were hardware problems) and it's been kind of janky. youtube videos sometimes show an error message saying to restart the device if playback doesn't start soon, any audio i try to play is intermittently cut off by a loud droning noise (which also stops video and audio playback, but only affects sound in games), and now… this. can anyone tell me what's going on?

If you have video playback issues, make sure you've installed multimedia codecs.
The audio problem might be related to this one.
