O.k., so some more testing. Here's what I did: $ pulseaudio -k && LANG=C pulseaudio -vvv > ~/pulseverbose.log 2>&1 $ parecord -r pulsetest.wav record sample in audacity and export to "test-audacity.wav" $ pulseaudio -k && LANG=C pulseaudio -vvv > ~/arecord.log 2>&1 arecord -f cd -d 5 test.wav pulseaudio -k && LANG=C pulseaudio -vvv > ~/audacity.log 2>&1 start audacity and record with input hw:0,0 (not pulse)
then converted the output wav files to ogg for size reasons. Find all the files attached. Funnily, parecord gives better output than arecord, audacity using pulse input is unbearable, but using alsa hw0:0 seems fine again... My final aim is to make skype working. Right now I can't talk to anybody, they just won't understand me because of all the noise... ** Attachment added: "arecord.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1259070/+attachment/3927494/+files/arecord.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1259070 Title: N90SV, Realtek ALC663, Mic, Internal Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Recording directly with arecord works, but using pulseaudio has crackling noise. Workaround is to disable timer based scheduling in /etc/pulse/default.pa AND setting default-fragments = 4 default-fragment-size-msec = 90 (or higher, lower still produces noise) in daemon.conf.
