I also use a HyperX USB-Audio headset with my Ubuntu 21.10, and recently noticed random pops and cracks in the audio output. I have tried recording these noises using Audacity, but it is apparently not possible.
I also tried my headset on a different PC and OS and the issue was not present there, so I assume that the headset works correctly. When I found this bug report, I have checked that I am using Kernel version 5.13.0-37.42. After I restarted my PC and selected the previous Kernel, version 5.13.0-35.40, the issue went away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966059 Title: [USB-Audio - HyperX Virtual Surround Sound, playback] Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I can rollback to old kernel and audio works fine there.
