It's the gstreamer-alsa plugin that is probably causing the crackle. |

There are several bug reports in Gnome bugzilla. If you are using dmix, |
| 21 |
you might want to look at this one: |

There are a few others, but the general solution is to either downgrade |
| 25 |
the gstreamer-alsa plugin or switch to using OSS instead of ALSA (which |
| 26 |
is what I did). If want to do this in Gnome, go to the Multimedia |
| 27 |
Systems Selector in the preferences menu, and switch the Default Output |
| 28 |
Sink to OSS. |
