When the music is playing at higher volume it seems to disappear, but it's noticeable during quieter moments songs can have.
Also, sound of volume adjusting that cinnamon crackles even more.
Everything is perfect when using analog outputs.
Devices I tried:
- Schiit Modi DAC, both optical and USB connections
- Asus Xonar U3
- Audio output of a monitor connected via DP.
I tried my best to exclude possibility of problems not related to software.
Tested my earphones with other devices and tested Schiit Modi with a windows laptop.
