(Get the code!)
After some time of using PULSE_NO_SIMD, I noticed the rattling is still there, only slightly less in volume. That's probably why I thought it was gone.
However, playing around with PULSE_NO_SIMD on and off, I found a new workaround that works perfectly here. PULSE_NO_SIMD is not involved, i.e. off now.
Instead,
- Log out of the system
- Switch to a console
- Log in
- Delete ~/.pulse
- Switch to GDM
- Log in
- Open audio settings, see that settings have been reset to "stereo" (this always happens when ~/.pulse is gone)
- Change to 5.1
- Try playing sound => Works perfect for me
- Touch any of the balance / subwoofer sliders in audio settings => rattling back again
Maybe some of the settings files get corrupted? I will try that next.
