Bug Description
I suggest changing the default resample-method to speex-float-10, instead of speex-float-1, which is the current default now, in /etc/pulse/
It would look like this in daemon.conf:
resample-method = speex-float-10
I have always done that since at least 12.04 LTS. I was not satisfied with the sound quality in Ubuntu compared to Windows, so I changed the resample-method.
In my day-to-day usage, it gives better sound quality without sacrificing CPU power.
I have not tried other resample methods. Maybe there are better options I don't know about.

It appears the default of speex-float-1 is chosen by upstream (?... although commented out): /cgit.freedeskt op.org/ pulseaudio/ pulseaudio/ tree/src/ daemon/ daemon. conf.in

I'm not familiar with these options so would not second-guess upstream about the best default just yet. Please log a bug directly with them and let's see what they say: /bugs.freedeskt op.org/ enter_bug. cgi?product= PulseAudio
