Crackling seems to only go away when mix is set to lower than 10% in pulseaudio. If the device oversaturates it seems to try to lower the volume and starts to crackle for a while making it unusable to record or talk for a long time. This has been around for a long time now.
It seems there is already a patch but im kinda worried by the version number. 5.3.x seems pretty far away from stable releases(5.0.0-27-generic)?
Confirming this for ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog]
