Audio cracking in 14.3 even not in high CPU usage

Sometimes this happens, I am listening to some music in Youtube. Then suddenly, some sound happens like when you slowly release clutch pedal in a manual car, that sound happens in 0.5 seconds or so.

Strange analogy, my car just starts moving forward (or back if it's in reverse gear), it certainly doesn't make weird noises.
 
Does it happen if you use a different media player like mpv? Try mpv <url> using the url of the youtube video. You will need to have yt_dlp installed.
 
My assumption is that the issue is in current mixer codes.

I've tried to switch back to all pulseaudio (which was the only "working" solution to use multiple apps having audio outputs when it was first introduced, ancient days), noises (mostly pulsive distortions) dissappeared for me. Maybe switching to other "single sound servers" could help.

I suspect (not read the codes) that current mixer in-base simply sums all inputs, thus, overflows.
