Linux Audio-issues

Hey there OC3D folks!

Just recently I've started transitioning from Windows 8.1 to Arch Linux as primary operating system.
It's been working pretty good so far, I have most of what I use daily at my fingertips.

The problems start when I go about gaming tho. With much trouble I managed to get Steam working and playing CS:GO also works just fine. There was huge audio lag, caused by pulseaudio, but I found a workaround, that's not my main issue.

My main issue is, whenever I start CS:GO it does >>something<< and all other programs that use audio ouput (for example Spotify or Chromium) suddenly stop relaying audio and everything goes quiet. CS:GO still plays audio just fine and after a short while teamspeak also catches itself, but Chromium and Spotify I have to restart.

Does anyone have any idea where this might come from?
