The distinctive 'feature' of my problem was that distortion appeared one some other application tried to play sound (e.g. skype when somebody logs in) along with another. And at some cases distortion could become 'permanent', i.e. be heard even when skype finished playing its sound. And as I've posted in comment #4 it looks like it was configuration issue and now sound is ok.
