@anthonywong Referenced report seems as unrelated. On my machine, the sound is clear and loud but 10 seconds after playback ends the noise starts.
I am not familiar with specific design of the soundcard but It looks/sounds like when it suspended by the driver, analog amplifier left active picking all kind of interferences from ground line. Kernel versions 4.4.0-1x and 4.6.0RCx are affected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468582 Title: Noisy (pop noise + white noise) headphone audio on Dell XPS 13 (2015) Status in HWE Next: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Utopic: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Vivid: Fix Released Bug description: This was reported through community and brought up to support.
