Solved audio stutter and slight popping on hp probook 450 g1

Edit: I fixed it! or at least severely reduced the issue to tolerable levels.

Code: 
pulse/daemon.conf

avoid-resampling = yes
default-sample-rate = 48000


I am experiencing some audio stutter when playing music in the Chromium browser, however on firefox it does not stutter but rather constantly pop.

I have an hp probook 450 g1 laptop running freebsd 12 and plasma5 and I will post some information about it below:

sysctl -a | grep snd
sysctl -a | grep hda

Code: 
>cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Intel Haswell (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm1: <IDT 92HD91BXX (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) default
pcm2: <IDT 92HD91BXX (Analog Mic)> (rec)
No devices installed from userspace.


>dmesg | grep hdaa
hdaa0: <Intel Haswell Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc0
pcm0: <Intel Haswell (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 3 on hdaa0
hdaa1: <IDT 92HD91BXX Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc1
pcm1: <IDT 92HD91BXX (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> at nid 13,11 and 12 on hdaa1
pcm2: <IDT 92HD91BXX (Analog Mic)> at nid 17 on hdaa1

This is with the internal speakers and I have not tested headphones or hdmi audio.

Edit: I was wrong about one thing, not all programs have distortion.
mpg123 has crystal clear sound, so I am guessin this could maybe be an issue with one of the audio backend layers being used?

I was looking at how linux users solved PA stuttering when streaming over the network and replicated their solution into my pa's default.conf, however this caused weirdness and raised my network latency to 1000+ upon reboot, should not be happening at al but oh well. I think I am about ready to give up
 
Do you get sound from headphones? Just curious becaue your
Code: 
>cat /dev/sndstat
results look like mine and I can't ge sound to play via headphones.

Yes and no. Originally, I got audio in headphones only from one speaker until I used one of those splitters that come with gaming headsets. saw that in another post here and it worked. I tried a lot of things before resorting to a splitter, user xmj on the IRC helped me a lot with this issue.

I don't think anything on freebsd can be changed to correct this it is just a hardware/driver limitation
