I am using Ubuntu 22.04.1 on VirtualBox on Windows 11 on my laptop for 8 month already. Recently i noticed some annoying "noise", "scratching" and freezing of sound while watching videos or listening audio files on Ubuntu. I tried recommendations How to stop speaker random popping noise on Ubuntu 22.04
and Annoying click/popping sound on Ubuntu 20.04,
but none of them helped.
The noise is random and intermittent.
I used the command free
:
total used free shared buff/cache available

I do not know how to share audio samples here. It would helped a lot if I could.
Method 1. I tried using this answer.
![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8EzJq.png)
I used cat /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
and got this as a result
cat: /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save: No such file or directory
Method 2. Then I used this.

I ran this command:
sudo nano /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
and tried to change the values of sample rates,but I don't know how to execute it so I'm stuck like this.

Method 3. After that I followed here, did the command and got this:
![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JTvNW.png)
sudo sed -i 's/--\["session.suspend-timeout-seconds"\] = 5/\["session.suspend-timeout-seconds"\] = 0/' /usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua
systemctl restart --user pipewire.service
[sudo] password for :
sed: can't read /usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua: No such file or directory
Still nothing helped.
