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
  1. find a line containing:
load-module module-udev-detect
  1. modify this to become:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
  1. 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!
