[SOLVED] PulseAudio glitches

Hello!
When i listen to music on Spotify and another program starts playing a sound, for example when someone goes online on skype, the volume suddenly spikes and it becomes very loud.
It scares me a lot and sounds pretty bad, but I have no idea what the problem is. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Thanks

It may be because of Skype adjusts sound levels automatically. You can disable this behaviour from Skype's sound settings.

Tried disabling flat volumes in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf?

Thanks lucke, disabling flat volumes did it. Now it crackles when i change the volume in Spotify, but it's still better than before.
