Problem with PulseAudio

Hello!
I have little but annoying problem with my PA setup. It has little distortions, cracks, glitches in played sound. I figured out, what is the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
My unused audio outputs constantly (randomly couple times per second) change state from normal to "disconnected, unavailable".
Any suggestions how to fix it?

Bad news:

### Should be after module-*-restore but before module-*-detect
#load-module module-switch-on-port-available

It was commented.

Re: Problem with PulseAudio

double check with `pactl list modules` that it's not still loaded.

^ this as well, if you use GNOME with GDM there's a chance it loads pulse with its own configuration file and you'd have to figure out where that is and adjust the config there.
