since some days I am experiencing strange issues with my laptop headphone jack.
When I boot into Windows 8.1, everything works as expected. No problems or cracking sounds.
When I boot my Arch installation, it seems like everything breaks. My headphones randomly produce loud cracking sounds and when I manage to get something out of them, the sound is blurred and sounds disturbed.
I've had issues in the past with audio crackles that were caused by the video driver.

What video driver? Maybe an nvidia one?

Oh and how did you solve it? :D
I'm using Pulseaudio and my headphone has issues with applications using ALSA (such as an unpatched Wine), but not with applications supporting Pulseaudio natively. Have you tried if that makes a difference for you?
