SUMMARY
Certain tracks crackle when played in Elisa that do not crackle when played through Audacious, Haruna, MPV, or VLC. The crackling is not always consistent: it may be softer or louder as the track plays, and it may be softer or louder in general from playback to playback.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play track

OBSERVED RESULT
Crackling

EXPECTED RESULT
No crackling
