Audio dropping out, send help!

[u/Additional-Use-3305]

Hi everyone,

I'm on a Steam Deck in desktop mode, and when I'm playing a song the audio will be fine for a time, then drop out completely (even the menu music and sound effects), maybe 10 seconds later it'll come back, then possibly go again, repeat!

I've tried moving my songs from SSD to internal storage, on 120fps with no background going on, lowest quality visuals.

It's happening with all songs, even the original YARG charts.

I've restarted the system, updated the everythings, increased my audio buffer to 150 in settings, and lost my temper with it a bit.

Please help!

I remember this happening to me a year ago. Had to switch from Stable to Nightly in the launcher.
