Public bug reported: All HTML5 videos watched in Chromium, using PulseAudio as session-wide audio daemon, begin to crackle, as if there were audio buffer underruns. I began experiencing this problem while watching videos on YouTube, edX, Coursera, Udemy.
Going through all PulseAudio troubleshooting steps (e.g. adding tsched=0 to load-module module-udev-detect in /etc/pulse/default.pa, etc.) did not work. Watching the same videos in Firefox 55.0.2 (which routes all audio through PulseAudio) gives perfect sound, no crackling/underruns.
