We've had reports of crackling issues relating to mixer settings for alsa. I can't remember off the top of my head without digging through bugmail, but it is something to do with one of the main sound channels muted in the alsa mixer, however I can't remember whether this was heard when users used pulseaudio.
If you could check your mixer settings, and see if unmuting/changing levels helps, that would be great. From what I also remember, this is a driver issue. -- Only crackling sound on jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331480 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
