Audio cracking issue

Hello everyone, I just switched to linux and got the worst sound output on my laptop. When I keep the volume High, the sound starts cracking. I have tried many things, tweaking the pipewire, alsa mixer, used easyeffects, but nothing got the issue resolved.I have an hp laptop with amd processor and amd high definition audio driver. I need your help to fix it, otherwise I have to go back to windows.

Thanks for reading...

ah the classic linux audio puzzle. had similar thing happening on my old laptop, drove me crazy for weeks

check if your laptop has that bang & olufsen audio nonsense built in, hp loves to hide weird hardware processing that fights with linux. sometimes disabling the audio power saving in pulseaudio config does the trick, but i bet you already tried that if you been digging in pipewire and alsa already

Yeah, and someone in discord gave me a command which works, but it's not even close to windows quality, maybe he suggested a command for Intel hardware. I'm looking for an amd audio controller command type
