[New Install] Audio crackling and HDMI

Hello everyone,

I just installed Arch Linux on my MSI GS73VR laptop. Here are the specifications:

• GPU: GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5

• RAM: 16GB DDR4

• HDD: 2TB HDD

• SSD: 256GB SSD

• CPU: Intel 7700HQ

• Motherboard: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MS-17B

• Bluetooth: Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 Bluetooth 4.1

• Wireless: Killer Wireless-n/a/ac 1535 Wireless Network Adapter

• Ethernet: Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

I do have a small set of issues going on which I tried to fix by looking at the docs.

1. I'm using pulseaudio, I have random crackling sounds I tried the following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … _crackling but nothing worked.

2. Nothing happens when I connect HDMI, I can't use dual screen, only my laptops screen is available.

I'm using GNOME as my DE.
Please let me know if any other information is required.

As for the HDD issue simply add the drives UUID to /etc/fstab with relevant options. Consult the fine wiki regarding fstab if you are unsure how to proceed.

I was able to solve the HDD issues, I updated my post with another issue and the audio issue still persists.
