OK so instead of using a new or old kernel and to avoid issues with
other drivers (like Nvidia breaking with the 4.14 RC version) and based
on your feedback, I only then focused on PulseAudio. I noted that Ubuntu
17.10 is using the PulseAudio from January which is 10.0 instead of the
11.1 from September. So I grabbed the 11.1 one, downloaded the needed
dependencies and compiled the whole thing like this:
1. Make sure the Source repository is enabled since it comes disabled by
default from the Software & Updates App.
2. Install all dependencies needed
sudo apt-get build-dep pulseaudio && sudo apt-get install checkinstall
git libpulse-dev
3. Set all the flags and settings
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat
-Wformat-security -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4
-Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall"
CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat
-Wformat-security -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4
-Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall"
CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--no-as-needed -lxcb"
./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
--includedir="\${prefix}/include" --mandir="\${prefix}/share/man"
--infodir="\${prefix}/share/info" --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--libexecdir="\${prefix}/lib/pulseaudio" --srcdir=. --disable-

--enable-x11 --disable-hal --libdir=\${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
--with-module-dir=\${prefix}/lib/pulse-11.1/modules --disable-oss-
wrapper
NOTE: The above is based on PulseAudio 11.1 so if you look at the final
line it says pulse-11.1 just to help with knowing which version is
handled.
After this a simple
make -j8 (In my case)
Then
sudo make install
then reboot or kill pulseaudio. After that I have tested during the past
3 hours and have had no issues whatsoever. This solved a crackling
issues that happened every 3-5 minutes. The disconnecting and
reconnecting issues that in 3 hours would have happened about 30 times
or more. A sound issue in calls, even other members hearing me can hear
me better and no crackling sound in the back. And while testing with
steam and youtube, there was no drop in sound.
For now this is a better solution but if other bugs appear in regards to
sound issues, most probably updating to 11.1 (The whole 11.x versions
fixed several issues I was having on both, a wireless headset and the
USB connected headset). Hope this information helps along.

Title:
Logitech G930 drops connection and reconnects in 17.10 (But not in
17.04)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Every so many seconds / minutes the Wireless headset Logitech G930
simply drops connection. It always reconnects but when doing a
recording, a meeting, listening to music or a movie it simply drops
the connection for 1 to 3 second. This happens several times an hour.
If it helps, it was not happening in 17.04 (Never happened in more
than 200+ hours of using the headset).
