Hi, yes, that's why I explained how to notice broken caps, by either leaking or if they are bloated. I only pointed out that if you can't see dirt from leaking or a bloated top, then it's important to understand what a cap is good for, before replacing it, without an idea if it could be related to the described issue. Btw. when searching for a circuit layout or at least a clear photo to read what's printed on some components, I found the same link and posted it. If you follow the thread, there never was mentioned that the caps are looking broken and even the described symptoms leave behind an impression, that it likely could be a software issue. Running two sound servers, while one sound server kept a zombie and runs by a second instance, not clearly lead to borked caps. I also didn't notice any comment what is shown by top, when the crackling appears. So my recommendation still remains, as long as the caps are looking good and the OP didn't run top and fixed the pulseaudio zombie issue, replacing the capacitors just by guessing isn't a good idea.
