Hello,
I have a problem where there is a "cracking" sound in the speakers when starting up the computer or launching multimedia applications.
I recorded a video demonstrating the issue during the computer startup and with Spotify, but the same happens with any other multimedia application.
The problem doesn't persist afterward. For example, when I start Spotify and play a song, there is a crackle, but subsequent songs are fine. However, the issue reoccurs after closing and reopening Spotify.
The same is true for YouTube tabs in the browser, video players like SMPlayer, or editors like KDENlive...
Here is a video illustrating the problem:

The crackles in the video occur at seconds: 2, 35, 58, 1:11, 1:57.
The problem arose a few years ago when I changed the motherboard to "Asrock B450 Pro4" (Realtek ALC892).
I managed to deal with it by editing the file: "/etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf" and adding: "options snd_hda_intel power_save=0".
Unfortunately, today the problem has resurfaced, and nothing helps.
I found a similar issue here:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/poop-sou...start/133055/5 but the solution there didn't help me.
I've already tried:
/etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf
options snd_hda_intel power_save=0
/etc/modprobe.d/disablePower.conf
options snd_hda_intel power_save=0
.config/pulse/daemon.conf
default-sample-rate = 48000
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf
default-sample-rate = 48000
/etc/modprobe.d/hda-no-suspend.conf
options snd_hda_intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N
/etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-suspend-on-idle > #load-module module-suspend-on-idle
My system is: Kubuntu 23.10
Motherboard: "Asrock B450 Pro4"
I'm using the built-in sound card and 5.1 speakers.
