Ubuntu Audio Static Distortion [Intel 82801AA-ICH]

Audio: After a few minutes the audio output becomes static distorted, (System Wide with all Audio Applications VLC etc. But especially noticeable with YouTube’s Audio/Video playback), sounding as though something is causing it to be overdriven into what is called ‘Clipping’, (But even at low volume levels). If I click on the Volume Icon on the top right of the Ubuntu screen, and then click on the ‘Sound Settings’ item of that drop down menu below the Volume Slider, Opening the Sound Settings GUI, this seems to Temporarily resolve the Static as though doing this is resetting whatever is causing the Issue. In some instances, Muting and then unmuting the audio first, helps to ‘reset’ when opening the ‘Sound Settings’ GUI. But every few minutes the Issue returns. Forcing me to have to manually use the Drop down menu approach to clear up the distorted audio each and every time. Attempting to change levels and setting of alsamixer has no real effect on this issue, alsamixer has no ‘automute’ option in this instance. But opening the default Pulse Audio ‘Sound Settings’ GUI does. Whether the allow louder than 100 percent Check Box is unchecked or checked makes no difference in this behavior. However, this clearly indicates that the errant behavior is something associated with Pulse Audio.

32 Bit Ubuntu 16.04LTS Guest In VirtualBox 64 Bit Windows 10 Host (Windows Audio Drivers are NOT the issue).
Motherboard: ASRock B250M Pro4-1B Rev 1.04

I attempted this “fix”
..In Terminal: sudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa and adding tsched=0
to load-module module-udev-detect
so it becomes load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
Save and Exit default.pa
..Pulse Audio can then be restarted in Terminal by: pulseaudio -k
..Doing this Did NOT solve the issue for me.

Next I attempted this “fix”:
...edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
sudo -H gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
..Find the line
; resample-method = speex-float-1
uncomment (remove the ;) and change to
resample-method = src-sinc-best-quality
..Next:
; default-sample-rate = 44100
Should become:
; default-sample-rate = 48000
If the lines are not there at all, then add them. Reboot for changes to take effect.

I merely added the Uncommented Lines Below the ;Commented one’s, (to make undoing whatever doesn’t work easier)..
; resample-method = speex-float-1
resample-method = src-sinc-best-quality
; default-sample-rate = 44100
default-sample-rate = 48000
Then Rebooted for changes to take effect.
..Also Doing this Did NOT solve the issue for me.

So what is the Specific “Fix” that will actually work in this instance?
