When I turn off my computer I hear a loud crack sound on my speakers. The issue is alerady described here:

• https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=399138
• https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=404572

Steps to reproduce

I have a ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 AMD, I believe this is a problem that obviosuly does not happen on all devices.

Expected behavior

I expect that there are not strong cracking noise when I turn off my pc.

Additional information

Current work around is to shutdown the pc using this command:

amixer -q -D pulse sset Master mute
shutdown now

@edofe99

Please try using the sound150@claudiux, replacing 5.4/applet.js and 5.4\settings-schema.json with those in linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets#6496

Once installed, remove the [email protected] applet from your panel and restart Cinnamon.

In the settings of this applet, in Sound tab, check the option "Try to avoid loud cracking sound at shutdown".

Please tell me if that works as you expect.

dear @claudiux

Tried, works good. Any change it will be used by default on the main sound applet? (without having an option to enable/disable it, since it should be enabled by default).

Thank's again.

Dear @edofe99

I'm glad it works well. Now this option is enabled by default in sound150@claudiux.

I'll try to solve this problem in [email protected].

Dear @claudiux, received the applet update and now everything works.
If it can help: I think that by solivng the issue "silently" on the main sound applet, or even better, directly inside cinnamon code would be the best choice, I mean to have this by default and not an optional voice inside a menu.
Thank's.

Enhanced Sound applet: done!
Sound applet: maybe soon.
Inside Cinnamon code: useless.

[claudiux]

The problem (if it's really a problem?) is that I don't get any loud cracking sound at shutdown at all, with my devices.

This issue was easily resolved with the Enhanced Sound applet. Not so with the basic applet.

I have a Thinkpad T14 G4 with a Ryzen 5... Maybe the hardware it's too recent for mint?

[claudiux]

This is not a problem of too recent hardware.

[edofe99]

This is not a problem of too recent hardware.

What can it be then?

[claudiux]

This is a material problem, or bass level too high.

My solution is to record the volume level, mute output, then restore the volume level for next time.
