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?
