I have now repeated the test using the ALSA "pcm" test program in 8.04 and 8.10 beta. The pops and clicks are still there in 8.04, but they are gone in 8.10 beta.
For the 8.10 beta test, I booted the 8.10 beta i386 desktop live CD (in safe graphics mode, because the machine locks up during boot otherwise), and ran the following commands: sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev sudo apt-get install libc6-dev sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev apt-get source alsa-lib cd alsa-lib-1.0.17a/test cc pcm.c -lasound -o pcm ./pcm -- Pops and clicks in ALSA audio playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
