Hi PulseAudio gurus, I'm desperately looking for solution of my problem, which is terribly cracking/distorted sound comming from my desktop: i5-2500k, asus p8z68-v mobo (z68 chipset), gtx-780, realtek alc892 on-board sound, Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3 installed... $ lspci -v | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK110 HDMI Audio (rev a1) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd GK110 HDMI Audio Sound is really terrible. Every few seconds I can hear some "cracking". It is also somehow distorted, like when you try to put over-amplified signal to weak speakers. I tested different audio/video players, different audio/video media files, it is always the same. When I switch hard-drives and put inside the old one still with windows7 installed, everything works normally. I suppose my problem has something to do with linux-driver and related software. I'm using default /etc/pulse/daemon.conf, never changed any value. Any idea how I could fix this?
