Popping in headphones when no sound is playing after upgrade to ubuntu 19.04

[Burt P.]

After upgrading to (X)Ubuntu 19.04, there is a steady (~85bpm) popping/clicking noise in headphones when not playing anything. If some application is playing audio, the popping does not happen, but if playback stops, the popping returns. Downgrading to 18.10 makes the noise go away. Also did not happen in 18.04 or 17.10.

Sound hardware:
0a:00.3 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 00h-0fh) HD Audio Controller
Using the front analog output.

Using "load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0" as suggested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PositionReporting did not fix the problem.

Please edit the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-info.conf, add "options snd-hda-intel power_save=0", then reboot.

BTW, we will try to find how to fix this issue when runtime PM enabled.

I had already downgraded and couldn't try the suggested workaround from #15. I've upgraded to disco again and the popping is still there, but the workaround quiets it.
