Still there is this one issue, and its been bugging the heck out of me.
I get cracking/distorted audio when playing media sometimes, it happens when say i am watching youtube and I go off to another web page (say facebook) and when another video begins auto playing I get this effect.
This happens regardless of the distro i am using so I suspect maybe its some sort of issue with pulse.
I use my front audio jack as a sound source as i almost always wear headphones, I pop the speakers on now and then but typically use them.
Its possible this is related to my front panel audio but as far as i am aware there is no issue with my motherboards audio chipset.
Here are my systems specs:
