sound pops/crackle - faad2 > 2.7 , vlc > 3.0.8, hardware specific

I found this bug with VLC, and tracked it down (via compiling old versions) to the change in faad2 version from 2.7 to 2.9.1. It seems to only happen on this one type of computer i have (lenovo m92p, stats attached), as another HP computer running same debian and vlc does not do it. It happens with both analog and hdmi sound out, also and pulse, x11 and wayland, other vlc settings dont help either. Attached are files that do it, and verbose logs.
