I don't think desktop influences audio. I wouldn't have thought switching composers could influence audio either, but while "voice quality sounds better" is quite subjective, it's irrefutable that the crackling is gone now.
And, it's *extremely* weird.
WebRTC + Xorg + 3rd monitor = noisy. WebRTC + Xorg + disabled 3rd monitor = fine.
WebRTC + Wayland + 3rd monitor = fine (maybe even better than before).
This is a guess: Audio on Jitsi requires a heck of a lot of processing power. I draw this conclusion based on my 2020 switch from 2 cores 2 threads 16GB RAM to 6 cores 12 threads 64GB RAM. On the old machine, sound was bad enough that 100ms the dropouts significantly reduced legibility, something you don't want to happen when you're charging good money to train a remote team. With the new machine, legibility is pretty close to 100%. Maybe Wayland uses less processing power, leaving more for your sound. SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
