I tried to solve my audio issue yesterday (im a new linux user)
The audi from hdmi -> monitor is scratchy… most of the time
Guide says uninstall pulse audio. I run the terminal command, cant do that because of popOS desktop requires pulseaudio. Ok. Cant remove popOS desktop either because it will break stuff.
Cant install new audio software either because it conflicts with what i got already…
Found an issue posted on github about it from 2019… “issue closed”
I had this on Ubuntu or Debian awhile back. PopOS shares enough with them this might be the same issue. It was a quick fix that worked for me. If not, then there’s multiple scratchy HDMI issues out there…
I would recommend to switch as well, PopOS isn’t that actively developed at the team, because the team is currently developing its own desktop environment which isn’t out yet.
Linux Mint is great for new users (especially from Windows) and supports all major desktop environments.
If you don’t have anything against using the command line from time to time, both Debian and Fedora are great options, Debian isn’t corporate-run but Fedora gets faster updates.

I might try just using a different distro 👨💻
