[h2]Audio dropouts[/h2]

[p]Audio dropouts cause crackling noise from time to time, especially with Chromium scrollbar movement. Such dropouts do not occur with Intel HD Graphic and AMD + vesa driver. The dropouts of VLC can be alleviated by passing the audio via JACK. System-wide dropouts can be alleviated by changing Pulseaudio settings, stated below.[/p]
