Can you provide the log when this happens? To get the PulseAudio log, follow
these steps:

1. Disable automatic starting of PulseAudio. If your distro uses
systemd's socket activation to start PulseAudio, run

    systemctl --user --now mask pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

If your distro doesn't do that, put "autospawn = no" to
~/.config/pulse/client.conf.

2. Stop pulseaudio with "killall pulseaudio" (the previous systemctl
command might have stopped it already, though).

3. Start pulseaudio in a terminal with verbose logging and timestamps:

    pulseaudio -vv --log-time

4. Let it run until you encounter the crackling again. As soon as the crackling
starts, quickly switch to the terminal where pulseaudio is running and press
enter a few times to add empty lines marking the spot where crackling started.

5. Stop pulseaudio with ctrl-c.

6. Save the part of the log that preceded the empty lines that you added. A
minute worth of logging should be enough.

7. To return things back to normal, run

    systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

if you masked the service before. And remove the "autospawn = no" line
from client.conf if you added it there.
