Public bug reported: I'm having a problem with my onboard Intel soundcard:
The audio works fine, but after a few minutes (5-10), the audio suddenly starts to crackle, like someone's moving a broken audio cable. The volume-meter in the GUI (xfce), as well as the volume-meters in alsamixer suddenly start toggling mute/unmute like crazy, and the levels also keep changing. Like if some weird ghost-user would be hammering the keyboard shortcuts in alsamixer... ;) After some minutes, the sound returns in the same fashion: crackles, stuttering and the volume-meter GUI going crazy. Does anyone else have this problem?
