1. This bug happens everytime my computer wake up from sleep: a loud crackling noise can be heard from headphones but not from laptop speakers
2. It disappears after reboot and audio works perfectly both through laptop speakers and headphones
3. Bringing the output volume to 0 doesn't make the crackling sound disappear
4. Bringing microphone volume to 0 doesn't make the crackling sound disappear
5. This bug was not present in the previous version of Ubuntu used on this computer ie. 17.04.
Additionnaly, headphones contain a built-in microphone.
