I'm writing to you today because I'm having a weird sound problem with the Kernel 5.0. I hear a intermittent crackling noise. I'm not sure but I think it's related to something that was happening at start up only when I use the Kernel 4.18.
Here is a video of that start up noise I had before when using 4.18.

It only happens once the computer booted, but nothing else after.
Now here is a video of that "new" noise using 5.0

As you can hear, the noise is now almost constant. The one time noise of the start up is still there, but it now continues after the login screen. It's very annoying.
Weirdly, when i go to the sound settings, it stops and when I leave the sound settings, it starts again after 10 or so seconds. Annoying and sneaky!
It's not the first time I'm trying to fix this. I've tried something that concerned my card going sleeping mode. I try few other solutions found on the net, but so far no success.
Here is the result of "inxi -Fxz" (while using sill 4.18)

I'm not a pro of linux, but I'm not totally stupid neither
What more information should I post here for my post to be as informative as it should?
Many many thanks in advance!
