Is there a way to get rid of the audio fade-in? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

I've had the same issue. Doesn't matter what you play the audio from (system notification, video in Firefox, ...) I also have that problem in windows so I'm suspecting a bios setting but I can't find anything and any online search returns only results about "audio not working at all"

It's not a BIOS setting, it's the audio driver. I had that happen on a laptop years ago and it was a stupid setting in the "Enhancements" tab of the driver.

I'm talking the legacy grey box menu, NOT the modern windows UI. I remember not finding it there

If you don't know how to manually get to it, just type "mmsys.cpl" in the start menu and hit enter.

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.
