Hi
I recently installed kodi on my raspberry pi 3. It works great, but all sound via the 3.5mm jack, seems to have a constant crackling noise. Are there some settings I can try to eliminate or minimize this?
Thanks already!

The analog sound output on the Raspberry Pi 0-3 is not the strongest part of those devices... It's inherent to the design.
Maybe something changed for the better with the RPi4, but I have a feeling it is still not at the top of the agenda of the Raspberry Pi people.

In any case, sound is not the same as music - you'll probably get better advice in a Linux-centric section.

It is not my target to have excellent sound quality, I just want sound without the continuous crackling noise.
Thanks for your responses!

Are you sure that the audio plug is plugged in properly? Bad contact with audio cables/plugs will get you crack(l)ing noises.
Rotate the plug a couple of times when it's plugged in, perhaps you'll notice some difference.
