The audio crackles, and it also sounds like the bitrate has been lowered drastically. I have attached a pulseaudio log. I can't pinpoint exactly where in the log the problem starts, but it is fine at the beginning and the problem happens somewhere toward the end of the time period. I am using Logitech USB headphones. I think the exact model is in the log files (pulseaudio has crashed at the moment so I can't access the Sound control panel).
