## Stop audio distortion issue on Linux Mint 19.2 (could affect other ubuntu flavors as well)
1. Open pulse audio configuration file.
```
nano /etc/pulse/default.pa
```
2. find a line containing:
```
load-module module-udev-detect
```
3. modify this to become:
```
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
```
4. then run this to kill existing pulseaudio
```
pulseaudio -k
```
### Why this works?
This disables something called "Glitch-free audio" which doesn't seem to play nice with my sound chip (ALC1220).
Ironic given the name, since it's causing me glitches!
