This seems like an issue with Wines xaudio2 implementation. The crackling isn't there with native dll's. Presumably this falls under https://github.com/ValveSoftware/wine/issues/2
You can try something like this to override the dlls (adjust as necessary):
WINEPREFIX=xxx/steamapps/compatdata/648390/pfx WINE="xxx/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7 Beta/dist/bin/wine" winetricks xact but keep in mind that it might lead to other problems (crashes, missing sound) given that this is known to be buggy on 64bit.

Play button in the Steam client is sufficient.nothing, the last update from proton have fixed the audio issue
Is anyone seeing any issues with this game and Proton 3.16-5 that would block it from being whitelisted?

I ran Marie's Room through Proton and it launches fine but the audio crackles badly. The Steam AppID of the game: 648390. I added PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options but no log was generated. I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game and I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
