I would say, when playing games, if you get audio crackling, try a different kernel such as Liquorix (https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Akernels&package=kernel-liquorix). I've had that issue on my hardware across multiple distros, and this kernel solves it.
I believe it's something with a kernel parameter regarding scheduling, specifically as noted in this features list (https://liquorix.net/#features)
You may or may not get this issue with your hardware, but if you do, then this is something you could try.
Otherwise, great distro, I'm currently on it.
I used to have problems with audio crackling. I'd restart pulseaudio, and it would resolve. I haven't had that problem for a long time now though. I think it's been resolved.
