The sound becomes distorted after a while [Solved]

[supermag]

Hello, my soundcards output becomes distorted after a while.
That does not happen in Win10.
The laptop is a MSI GP70 2QF Leopard Pro
What is the cause, and how do I fix that?

I have attached some relevant files with information.

Hi supermag. See if this helps:

If you're experiencing glitches, skips, pops or crackling in your audio playback, it's quite possibly caused by the timer-based scheduling pulseaudio now uses. Disable timer-based scheduling this way:
Users of 18.3 and earlier versions of Mint type this in the terminal: gksudo xed /etc/pulse/default.pa
Users of 19 and later versions of Mint type this in the terminal: xed admin:///etc/pulse/default.pa
Find the line that says load-module module-udev-detect and change it to load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
Save the file, then run pulseaudio -k in the terminal and test your sound

If that doesn't help, it's easy to undo.

That seemed to fix the issue, so I have set the topic to [Solved].

This solved my issues as well using HDMI DisplayPort HDA NVidia for sound. Just wanted to give thanks where due.
