Same issue with an ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390UA. I experience the issue as a volume dependent cross-talk between the channels, predominantly affecting the left channel when a medium volume sound is being played in the right channel, but to a lesser extent (lower volume of the cross- talk) affecting the right channel as well. Going by hearing the cross- talk seems to be 1-bit audio.
The common denominator seems to be the (newly supported) Realtek ALC295 driver: http://askubuntu.com/questions/861360/crackling-sound-when-using-headphones-16-04/861715 https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=225760 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1648183 Title: Crackling and popping sound when using headphones To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1648183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
