[Blink] Noise on G.722 calls only with Blink

Blink uses PJMEDIA library and codecs, which are built nowadays into many SIP apps including Asterisk and Bria itself. I have not heard about any interop issues for several years now.  Yet it could be an interoperability issue between the codec implementations.  What runs into the other end-point?

When I'm on a G.722 call in Blink Pro I'm told the other side hears a pink/white style background noise from me.  If I establish the same call over Bria using G.722, no noise.  The other non-SIP applications with codecs at least the quality of G.722 show no problem either.  With a call on Blink Pro using another codec, say G.711u, no noise.

And even though the mic switch seems to indicate Blink itself is not generating the noise, it's the only "noisy" application.  Weird.
