Crackling sound on focal

[Merlijn Sebrechts]

When I turn the screen reader on, I hear a lot of hissing and crackling noise every time the screen reader says something.

I don't have this hissing noise with any other application. I also don't get this crackling noise when I use spd-say.

Thank you for your bug report, could be worth reporting upstream on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca/-/issues

This issue went away after I applied the latest updates and restarted my computer for the first time, so I'm assuming it has been fixed along the way.
