Yes! Thank you for reproducing. So you have a starting point to try finding a fix now?

Nice that apparently something was found. Unfortunately, the whole does not coincide with my experience. A few days ago I had with a mate also the sound issues described here. It sounded exactly like in Bluestar his recording. I asked my mate if he changed anything in his sound settings. He said he had not changed anything except installed the new ts3 update 3.6.0. As soon as he spoke, it sounded like he was extremely loud for a fraction of a second. Literally like a crackle. He then immediately downgraded to 3.5.6 and the problem was gone. We suspected after successful testing with 3.5.6 that the AGC was changed in 3.6.0. After we tested this again with 3.6.0 on his side and without any AGC, this theory proved to be wrong. No matter what he configured, the sound problem persisted. As soon as he switched back to 3.5.6 everything was great again.
I myself, use all the time version 3.5.6. So this was definitely 100% a problem in version 3.6.0 on his (sender) side.
A few days ago, someone else who also uses the same teamspeak 3 server reported that his mate also has such sound problems for a few days. When I asked if his mate had updated to 3.6.0, he said yes. After his mate switched back to 3.5.6, the problem also disappeared. He himself had installed 3.5.6 the whole time, just like me.
It reads like there are two different problems here.

Yes, probably two different issues.
Can confirm that it was exactly same here. 3.5.6 fixed the issue. AGC did not.

Exactly the same thing here, everyone our in server slowly downgraded to 3.5.6 and users still on 3.6.0 were very obvious.

Sorry to hear that you have these Issue.
TeamSpeak is doing her best to investigate and fix this. 
It got pretty quiet here. Do you guys have any updates?

in the latest client release notes, for client 3.6.2 - it does not say that it has been fixed.
I get the feeling it will be declared as a feature in the next couple of weeks… why should they fix one of the most annoying bugs in teamspeaks history?
@TS Devs: get yourself together and fix this already! it’s kind of rediculous right now. How many “3.6.x” patches does it take? in which year can we expect this to be normal again?
I get the feeling that you just don’t care at all. Some emoji fixes or translation errors are just more important, right?
Still not fixed. It’s genuinely irritating to the ears.
Hello,
the update that broke the RP Soundboard plugin also broke TS audio quality. I believe it was version 3.6.0?
All audio enhancements are disabled, because they sound like trash if you have half a decent microphone. Automatic volume normalization is also disabled. We are all using the TS3 Client on Windows 10. Codec on the channels is opus voice quality 10. We had quality 4 at first but tried to mitigate this issue with the higher setting.
We are all using volume gate as voice activation mode. Pretty much at the start of voice activations sometimes the audio overdrives like crazy and create very unpleasant peaks. My friends can hear these artifacts as well. They didn’t notice it at first, but now they do as well.
We are very close to switch to discord. Discord doens’t have these issues…
I tried out the beta TS5 client, to fix it. This issue is also there. I don’t think its a server issue. I had these issues prior to the server updating the version. The artifacts are probably created by the TS3 client sending to the servers.
Not sure if I expect anything to improve here, but my hope is not dead.
I had almost forgotton about this issue because everyone on our server downgraded to 3.5.6 and we have a notice not to upgrade.
My friends mic was driving me insane yesterday and we couldn’t work out why, of course he accidentally upgraded to 3.6.1 
Larger servers must be hell.

Don’t think they will be fixing this after all this time. The last reaction from TS is from July.
On the main site TS3 was moved to the archive and TS5 beta is now the normal client, which is a downgrade to the very good TS3 in every way.
A workaround you can try is uninstalling TS3, purging all teamspeak folders out of your profile folders (C:\Users<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Teamspeak3" “C:\Users<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\TS3Client”) and reinstalling it clean. Maybe is a leftover from settings TS removed some time in the past, but never cleared out of the settings files/db, like automatic voice leveling for the mic.
But remember to export your identities and write down your favourites before doing that, as you can’t export them.
Somehow that seems to made it better on my server with Opus Voice on 10, but with lower quality than Opus Music, sadly.
If all else fails there are still other self hosted solutions that are not the privacy horror with D.
When TS3 got updated to 3.6.0 they sort of ported the bug from TS5 to TS3.
If they manage to fix this bug they will probably also update TS3 since it annoys many people.
They addressed this issue in September when the latest update came out:
If there would be an update to this issue they would have responded here. I agree that they at least should update the community from time to time as it frustrates many people, but that has sadly always been this way.

Now if they would actually do something about it, that would be nice.

I tried but that didn’t change anything.

Its so sad that there is no simple export to file button like with the identity.

I am lucky and had my 3.5.6 Setup file still. Installed the old version, no issues since…
Teamspeak Devs, just revert back to the old way… What is the Problem?

I agree, the change should be reversed until they can properly test it and make sure it all works.
