Description
For quite a long time (at least 5.1.26, but probably earlier, i think i got this problem back in 5.0.6 on winxp, but I'm not sure) there's a problem with scratchy sound on all my VM. It doesn't matter it's windows xp, 8.1, 10 or various linuxes (ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 17.10, manjaro) sound is scratchy, but new windows (8.1, 10) are worse. I tested it on 3 machines, one with win7 and two with win8.1. It doesn't matter it's new vm, old one, with or without addons. The best part is, everything is ok on linux hosts (same vm, same pc).
How is sound scratchy? When playing any sound (win8.1 test sounds in device settings are best example) are similar to electronic crackling 50% of time. When playing music it gets a little better, but still ~10% of time it's crackling.

Then maybe try to address them and do something? I spent last two weeks browsing web and trying to do something myself (i've lost about 40h now), but without success, and problem is known for years. I'm not the wrong one here, and even though this is an open source program, not addressing a problem is much worse than saying - we know this doesn't work and we don't know why, so we won't do anything with this. Sorry for bothering you.

Replying to Akkak:
i've lost about 40h now
And in 40h you couldn't find a reference? Please consider changing your favorite internet search engine. There should be plenty of results about this, but the search engine you're using now, does not seem to return any results for some reason.
problem is known for years
No, it's not going on for years. "Audio issues" is not the same bug. It's the same end-user symptom.
I'm not the wrong one here
Nobody said that you were wrong. All I said was that you report is about a known issue. Is not doing your homework properly wrong?
not addressing a problem is much worse than saying - we know this doesn't work and we don't know why, so we won't do anything with this
I would urge you to not jump into hasty conclusions, especially since your familiarity with the program and its progress is not that intimate. Take a look at the timeline and watch for yourself how many audio fixes are getting checked in. You can always help the effort, see "How to contribute".
