Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) reached end-of-life on April 30, 2011.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439718 Title: New Gnome mixer makes sound tinny/crackly, alsamixer doesn't Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio When I adjust the volume using the new Karmic mixer in Gnome (or the wheel on my keyboard), the sound comes out sounding tinny (A little be crackly but mostly tinny).. However if I jump into alsamixer and make even a minor change such as turning the volume up then back down to its original setting the tinny sound goes away. Changing using the Gnome mixer causes it to come back. Sometimes it seems the problem seems gets temporarily fixed and the gnome mixer doesn't cause issues until next boot (probably after laying around with alsamixer for a while, haven't found out exactly what conditions fix it). I also notice that when adjusting the mixer, when watching in alsamixer, the PCM, Front and Surround channels have small changes (if they are at %100, then they tend to jump around 97-100). Also if I turn down the PCM channel, the gnome mixer will turn it back up to 100 but turn down the Front and Surround channels. 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller Linux ender 2.6.31-11-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 25 06:37:23 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: hegemon 2143 F.... pulseaudio hegemon 6146 F.... alsamixer hegemon 16038 F.... alsamixer /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: hegemon 2143 F...m pulseaudio Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xfdff8000 irq 22' Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC888' Components : 'HDA:10ec0888,1458a002,00100001' Controls : 40 Simple ctrls : 22 Date: Thu Oct 1 09:11:25 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: pulseaudio 1:0.9.18-0ubuntu3 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/zsh ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-11.36-generic SourcePackage: pulseaudio Uname: Linux 2.6.31-11-generic x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/439718/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
