OK so instead of using a new or old kernel and to avoid issues with other drivers (like Nvidia breaking with the 4.14 RC version) and based on your feedback, I only then focused on PulseAudio. I noted that Ubuntu 17.10 is using the PulseAudio from January which is 10.0 instead of the 11.1 from September. So I grabbed the 11.1 one, downloaded the needed dependencies and compiled the whole thing like this:
1. Make sure the Source repository is enabled since it comes disabled by default from the Software & Updates App. 2. Install all dependencies needed sudo apt-get build-dep pulseaudio && sudo apt-get install checkinstall git libpulse-dev 3. Set all the flags and settings CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall" CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--no-as-needed -lxcb" ./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --includedir="\${prefix}/include" --mandir="\${prefix}/share/man" --infodir="\${prefix}/share/info" --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir="\${prefix}/lib/pulseaudio" --srcdir=. --disable- maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-silent-rules --enable-x11 --disable-hal --libdir=\${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --with-module-dir=\${prefix}/lib/pulse-11.1/modules --disable-oss- wrapper NOTE: The above is based on PulseAudio 11.1 so if you look at the final line it says pulse-11.1 just to help with knowing which version is handled. After this a simple make -j8 (In my case) Then sudo make install then reboot or kill pulseaudio. After that I have tested during the past 3 hours and have had no issues whatsoever. This solved a crackling issues that happened every 3-5 minutes. The disconnecting and reconnecting issues that in 3 hours would have happened about 30 times or more. A sound issue in calls, even other members hearing me can hear me better and no crackling sound in the back. And while testing with steam and youtube, there was no drop in sound. For now this is a better solution but if other bugs appear in regards to sound issues, most probably updating to 11.1 (The whole 11.x versions fixed several issues I was having on both, a wireless headset and the USB connected headset). Hope this information helps along. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725863 Title: Logitech G930 drops connection and reconnects in 17.10 (But not in 17.04) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Every so many seconds / minutes the Wireless headset Logitech G930 simply drops connection. It always reconnects but when doing a recording, a meeting, listening to music or a movie it simply drops the connection for 1 to 3 second. This happens several times an hour. If it helps, it was not happening in 17.04 (Never happened in more than 200+ hours of using the headset).
