Static noise on speakers while playing audio

Hi,
The title speaks for itself, I can hear static noise on my laptop speakers whenever I play any audio. Of course, this is best heard when I connect headphones to the jack output because nothing else "drowns out" the unwanted noise.

Interestingly, when I start the laptop with headphones plugged in, this effect does not occur until I unplug them.

I have seen problems with power saving mode but it's not the same in my case. I couldn't find any solution that would help.

Hello,

Have you disabled Capture and Mic ?

I had issues with pulseaudio.

It's been two years since I removed all pulse packages except libpulse and libcanberra.

I use alsa and the nice and very practical qastools mixer on different pc :

Note: I don't play games and don't use wine or steam.

Is Artix the only distro you have had this problem on?
