One example is Hello by Adele, when she first belts out "Hello from the other side" on the end of side it crackles. If I listen directly through the AVR or through the Roku I don't get the crackle so it appears to be coming from the PI. I tried the HDMI out into the receiver, and through the USB into a DAC, neither resolved the issue. I also updated from 7.1 to 7.2 and I still get the crackle. It occurs at various volumes and didn't go away when I turned the parametric EQ off. I also tried adjusting the ALSA volume down to 90, and the PEQ down to -6. None of that seemed to resolve the issue. The crackle does seem to be more prominent in the right channel than the left, but I haven't really tested that.. maybe it's just in my head. I did do a search and my apologies if I missed this being resolved in another thread.
I'm happy to provide any additional information and any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,
I have seen this if the Spotify volume is set to 100% in the app, I tend to have it around 80 - 90% in the app & 100% in Alsa, controlling the volume on the pre-amp.
