Hi, I am still facing the crack noise issue in my recorded sample. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.1 with latest stable kernel i.e. 4.18.12
I am using arecord utility to record my audio and then playing the .wav file with aplay. I tried the suggestions which have been provided earlier in this post, but nothing seems to be working for me. My board has ALC662 chip interfaced and using AMD processor. Could you please help how can we get rid of this crack noise issue?

I noticed this as a regression from Ubuntu Karmic, where the noise was not present. In Ubuntu Lucid the following lines appeared in dmesg, that didn't appear in Karmic: [ 16.380304] hda_intel: position_fix set to 1 for device 1458:a022 [ 29.837134] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj. Trying various module-options I added the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, which would make the lines above disappear in dmesg and resolve the crackling noise in recorded audio: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=2 bdl_pos_adj=-1 I think the problem is a wrong default option set by alsa.
