I used to have this extremely infrequently. Now, with 3.5, I get it so often that it basically ruins the whole experience for me. I even get random crackles in game too. Something is really wrong with this update.
Go on the official forums and report it because Valve isn’t going to look here for bugs.
Well, now I have this bug, new with 3.5 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1176
Are you getting the 200/1040mhz bug?

This is thing worrying me about 3.5 reaching stable.
Holy crap. That sucks. Is it related to setting the manual GPU speed in one game and launching another? Here on 3.4, I actually experienced the 200mhz bug after setting the manual speed in one game, it caused others to have 200hmz (oddly enough the manually set GPU speed in the one game was kept in that one specific game, but at the expense of all others).
Or is this an issue that happens to everyone on 3.5.1 no matter what?
I just wish they would let us replace the battery with the new one.
I have this problem. The audio crackling is especially bad and even setting the GPU speed does nothing to get rid of it. Often times I will launch New Vegas and it will crackle. I will have to relaunch it positive several times to get it to launch without crackling severely. Even still, I have had several games (New Vegas, Persona 3 Portable, Knights of the Old Republic II, Sonic Adventure 2, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, etc) crackle while playing them for a short while and this is a new development with 3.5; I didn’t have this with the previous stable OS 3.4.
