I have found the distortion (at least on my system) is exacerbated by loud sounds. High-bass music or loud sequences in video (gun-shots, dramatic music, etc).
I've also found that each time it distorts, the sync with the video is lost, like there's a growing latency as the video plays. Very peculiar. -- Distortion in active audio when using system sounds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322344 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
