[Bug 995090] Re: [USB-Audio - USB Audio CODEC, playback] Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound

 

Just in case someone stumbles on this, i now think that i have a better
solution, thanks to Reddit user /u/solen-skiner.

You just have to

1) comment out the line load-module module-suspend-on-idle on
/etc/pulse/default.pa

and

2) use exit-idle-time = -1 on /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
