Title:
  Popping/Crackling sound when playing audio in Ubuntu 14.04

Status in “nvidia-hdmi-pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When listening to audio (pandora internet radio, youtube, etc.), I get
  a repeated popping/crackling sound. When I look at the sound settings
  while this is happening, I see "Headphone Output" rapidly appearing
  and then disappearing in the "Play Sound Through" section. The
  appearance and disappearance of "Headphone Output" coincides with the
  popping and crackling of the sound.

  I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that my Nvidia
  card has a built-in HDMI card that might be interfering with my
  onboard sound:

  $ cat /proc/asound/cards
   0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                        HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7220000 irq 54
   1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                        HDA NVidia at 0xf7080000 irq 55
  cat /proc/asound/modules
   0 snd_hda_intel
   1 snd_hda_intel

  Obviously blacklisting "snd_hda_intel" in
  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf won't work, because it then disables
  all sound (both onboard and nvidia are listed as snd_hda_intel).
