If using Disabled try lowering the maximum Alsa output volume in that setting...reduce by 6db to start and check.
Hardware, if available will be better than Software and if you have downstream volume control then Disabled may be an option. (Note the warnings if you use this.)
Symptoms do sound as though the input is being overdriven/clipped.
I read of a similar problem with "too high" volume in another post. I use the option "fixed (0 dB)" in the volume control, since the volume is controlled by the DDA-100. I wanted to try the option "hardware" but did not fully understand this option: I figured out that it allows the volume control by the hardware of the Raspberry.
I will definitely try your suggestion of lowering the Alsa output, althoug it is specified that overblown errors (like the ones with the HDMI output) should be automatically corrected.
