frequent audio playback static

While playing back audio files (I tried FLAC and mp3) I get static about 50% of the time. The same files play back with zero static in Audacity.

This never happened before.

VLC 2.2.0
Audacity 1.3.12b

Thank you very much for your reply, Jean-Baptiste!

I'm not getting the static now...perhaps because version 2.2.1 came out and I of course upgraded. I'll post logs if ever I need to ask for help again.

All looks good in the logs, tbh.

Try changing audio output in preferences.
