I think this is actually two separate but related bugs. That workaround I posted about using EsounD audio output worked at first. However I had to reinstall Ubuntu completely and now the crackling sound has changed. Before the reinstall there was only crackling with loud sounds and the crackling itself sounded different. Now the crackling randomly occurs and EsounD audio output doesn't work anymore only the hw:0,0" ALSA device.
Reading the thread about this problem on the Ubuntu forums also seem it's actually two similar crackling problems with different workarounds. -- (Feisty) VLC sound quality is poor for many video files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
