Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.21+dfsg-2 Severity: important A crackling or white noise sound is present whenever an animation is shown on the screen. Animation is to be understood as animation in the widest sense. Even on console, if the cursor is moved, a noise is audible. It also applies to mouse movements both on gnome or kde 4. I've tried disabling pulseaudio server, without any effect. The sound hardware is discovered correctly as nvidia mcp65 on board-sound. Before upgrading the system to debian squeeze, it was running debian etch without any sound issues. So i don't think it is a hardware related problem (like electrical field noise inside the box).
Although it seems related to the graphics system, i'm attaching the output of lspci | grep vga below: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7300 GT] (rev a1) hal-device reports following information on video and audio devices: 88: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_393' pci.product = 'G73 [GeForce 7300 GT]' (string) pci.subsys_vendor = 'ASUSTeK Computer Inc.'
