Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libasound2
Try to run the following: - Nexuiz - Doom 3 in alsa mode - other stuff I forgot.. All I can hear is pops and cracks in the sound. Unbearable.. Well, I did the following: - changed /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, defaults.pcm.dmix_rate from 48000 to 44100 and the sound is fine now. My soundcard is an Intel HDA (Sigmatel STAC9200). Well, I'm not sure why it happens with some apps and not with others but there seems to definitely be a problem with alsa's dmix.
