<br>
I'm desperately looking for solution of my problem, which is<br>
terribly cracking/distorted sound comming from my desktop:<br>
i5-2500k, asus p8z68-v mobo (z68 chipset), gtx-780, realtek<br>
alc892 on-board sound, Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3 installed...<br>
<br>
$ lspci -v | grep -i audio<br>
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)<br>
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller<br>
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK110 HDMI Audio (rev a1)<br>

<br>
Sound is really terrible. Every few seconds I can hear some<br>
"cracking". It is also somehow distorted, like when you try<br>
to put over-amplified signal to weak speakers.<br>
<br>
I tested different audio/video players, different audio/video<br>
media files, it is always the same. When I switch hard-drives<br>
and put inside the old one still with windows7 installed,<br>
everything works normally. I suppose my problem has something<br>
to do with linux-driver and related software. I'm using default<br>
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf, never changed any value.<br>
<br>
Any idea how I could fix this?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
