I was haunted by this bug for several years, yet I was not able to google the solution, because I am not a native English speaker and I did not know the English world "crackling" (shame on me) and I was not able to describe the sound degradation properly to Google.
Today I was inspecting the processes on my system and I was suspicious, because of the speech dispatcher processes: I thought they were malware, because I don't want nor need any speech synthesis on my system, so I was wondering why they run under my account.
Solved this by uncommenting DisableAutoSpawn in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
