Romano, if the dkms package made it worse, then you should remove the package and reinstall the kernel package:
sudo apt-get purge alsa-hda-dkms sudo apt-get install linux-image-`uname -r` If you continue to experience issues, please file a new bug since you have different hardware (and probably a different audio codec) than the OP. Remember to remove any /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf customization before filing the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927961 Title: noise during recording with high volume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/927961/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
