Audio clipping when starting the timer #229

Problem

Starting today on the web version, I am having an issue where, about half the time, when starting a timer, a loud sound happens and is audibly clipped by my sound system limitations. While it is the first time I encounter this issue, it basically forbids me from recording/streaming the timer's audio as it is quite loud (and putting a limiter on the source recording would make the normal beeps that happen at the end of the timer clip as well, which we do not want).

Reproduction

Open EonTimer and set up any timer (preferably long enough that the end beeps don't happen straight away). Run/stop the timer repeatedly, the sound happens about half the time.

Environment

Linux 6.19.9 (on NixOS, but that specific should not matter)
Wayland + Hyprland (should not matter either but who knows)
pipewire 1.6.2
Firefox 148.0.2
web build: https://dasampharos.github.io/EonTimer/
