I’ve spent way too many hours trying to figure this out through forum posts.
As far as I could gather there was a configuration file that could be edited but now that configuration file is nowhere to be seen so I need to create that file but I’m not sure what to pun in that file.
The other problem is that all forum posts that talk about editing a configuration file is for something called Pulse and some forum posts mention that Mint doesn’t use that anymore, so back to 0.
No, I’ve disabled all kind of “enhancements” and it’s still there. Also, the problem is present on both my personal although barely used Windows, my work Windows and my everyday Linux Mint. 2 different systems, 2 different OS, the only common thing is the fact that it’s a realtek chip.
And why it just started now after a fresh install? I didn’t have this problem a week ago when I was using windows, and I don’t remember having this issue two years ago when I was using Mint.
Probably an updated/different driver that came pre-loaded in the new installer.
