Crackling audio with Chrome/Chromium any build any version !

I want to say,  I can not believe this is not butter. This issue has been around for more than 3 years at least and still with the latest versions I am having the same issue over and over again. At least there is a simple but annoying solution.

Start chrome with --audio-buffer-size=2048 option. If you do not want to open terminal every time you open the browser you can add this option to the .desktop shortcut.

$ nano /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

and add the --audio-buffer-size=2048 to the Exec lines.

Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --audio-buffer-size=2048 %U
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --audio-buffer-size=2048
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --audio-buffer-size=2048 --incognito

Do not forget to modify the file again when chrome updates. Actually it has a crackling reminder so you wont forget. I do not understand why do I hate chrome this much but still use it. Oh well ...
