Just F.Y.I Play Audio on host, on or off no difference, changing bitrates all over the place no difference. I have been trying to fix this issue for years.

Hm. Humor me -- go to Settings -> Streaming -> Advanced Options and check if "Audio Streaming" is set to "Enabled" on that screen. If it is, change it from "Enabled" to "Uncompressed" and try again?

ok that pretty much eliminated it.

I must say that option is damn fricking hidden... and I have gone over all of them numerous times...

Never in my mind I would have thought this enabled/disabled option had one extra, esp since none of the others have it.

I am *extremely* glad that was able to fix it for you!

...but yeah, it's perhaps not the most intuitive option. :)

whomp whomp it is back starting to think its time related now.....

Well the longer the device runs the more prominent the problem gets...

So clearly rebooting the device to enable SSH was the reason it seemed gone.

Obviously I have tested the com.valvesoftware.steamlink, retropie and phone for a too short of time to ensure it is isolated to the hardware.

I shall run a long time test with retropie and the flatpak to ensure it is not global.

Question: by "the longer it runs" do you mean specifically the longer it is *powered on*, or do you mean the longer it is *streaming*? If specifically streaming -- if stopping the stream and restarting fixes the audio -- that gives some detail on where to look.

I *suspect* it's going to be hardware-specific in the end, though; this device is a decade old, which is practically a senior citizen given how quickly embedded device hardware advances. And with computers now able to just generally push MORE stuff down a streaming pipeline, the poor little Link can run closer to CPU starvation than is ideal.

So I would not be surprised if the RPi, for instance, does not show this; think of the RPi as what would functionally be a "Steam Link v2" in terms of the hardware in it.

I have before and specifically today stopped streaming several times (back to the pc select screen and press play again).

It has not been powered off (as in no electricity) since the ssh enable reboot but has been soft powered off.

BTW the sole reason I use it is to stream my webbrowser (using a mouse) and play VLC movies I do not game with it. So it can't be a high demand thing...?

I will just replace it with a PI, lol I already have 4 anyways, I probably should have done this a long time ago, I don't know I have the controller I have the link it just whatever.

Fact that I can SSH to it and have the SDK makes it interesting and no longer trash.

I actually have seen a lot of threads about moonlight being so much better but I couldn't be bothered with all the hassle and again I basically stream 1080p video only.

But thank you for trying.

For the sake of more data (and my sanity)... if you were to reboot the device (you can ssh in and just type "shutdown -r now" to force a reboot without needing to power-cycle), does the pop/crackle go away?

You are lucky I dabble in the world of STM32 and programming lol I shall give this a try for your sanity of course!

Yeah... the Link's been a faithful little device, but it's a decade old and kinda the embedded Linux equivalent of a senior citizen at this point. It still does stuff very well for many people, but it's definitely showing its age.

The RPi is honestly the major reason there *isn't* a Steam Link 2 -- the Pi hardware is basically what a Link 2 would've been, and making the Steam Link a software solution (e.g. the flatpak) means folks have freedom to set it up in a wider variety of situations and scenarios than they would with just another dedicated box.

So I can't say it's even a bad idea to just move to the Pi, especially if you (like many of us tinkerers) have several sitting around. :)
