I have just upgraded from kubuntu 22.04 to 22.10 , wich includes also pipewire as default. Now the microphone is behaving funny. Sometimes it doesnt pick audio at all, sometimes it stutters like crazy, sounding like if the recording was time-warped. On audacity i firstly managed to record something, then it crashed and didn't even show the right microphone entry anymore. I tried to read the outputs of some commands i found on other threads, and to me everything looks off, but i dont know where to start to fix it.
