Cracked Sound In Ubuntu But Smooth Sound In Windows!

Question

Some sound files in Ubuntu gives cracked sound, but the same files run on Windows without any problem! Why it is happening? Moreover, when I record screen captures and record sound using a microphone, I hear crusty sound in reply. But same speaker works smoothly in Windows.... How do I solve this?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Edit: Sound card info...

Open sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL to it, changing MODEL to the model name such as acer.

It would also be helpful to know what computer you are using.
