Thank you Daniel, you are an ear-saver! Your workaround gave me my audio back.

Just in case it is not clear from the link, the way to revert the "pcm & front volume sliders jump to 100% with every change to master volume, resulting in crackling sound" is:

1. sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common
2. Go to the block titled "[Element PCM]" and change the line "volume = merge" to "volume = ignore"
3. Reboot (restarting PulseAudio isn't enough)
