Hi I just did an upgrade from 8.10, to 9.04, then to 9.10 and I'm experiencing this, as in playing audio would begin with a crackle almost always. I didn't experience any high-pitched noises or crackles periodically, as mentioned in other bugs that suggested the "comment out snd-hda-intel" fix, only when playing audio.
Commenting out options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf then rebooting gets rid of them. I would like to supply any info about my system that might help in the fixing of this issue. Here is something that might help: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c61bab84cc5ec0eda37eb85051385da2a834bf5a -- [karmic] cracking sounds before sound playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/417302 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
