Nevermind, I made a new report using "ubuntu-bug" to provide more comprehensive info. Please close this bug and refer to bug #1353013 instead.
** Description changed: When listening to audio (pandora internet radio, youtube, etc.), I get a repeated popping/crackling sound. When I look at the sound settings while this is happening, I see "Headphone Output" rapidly appearing and then disappearing in the "Play Sound Through" section. The appearance and disappearance of "Headphone Output" coincides with the popping and crackling of the sound. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that my Nvidia card has a built-in HDMI card that might be interfering with my onboard sound: $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7220000 irq 54 1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xf7080000 irq 55 cat /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_hda_intel 1 snd_hda_intel Obviously blacklisting "snd_hda_intel" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf won't work, because it then disables all sound (both onboard and nvidia are listed as snd_hda_intel). - My ubuntu version: + Additional Info: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 + + ProblemType: Bug + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 + Package: pulseaudio 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-32.57-generic 3.13.11.4 + Uname: Linux 3.13.0-32-generic x86_64 + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia + ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 + Architecture: amd64 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: tim 1856 F.... pulseaudio + CurrentDesktop: Unity + Date: Tue Aug 5 10:17:34 2014 + InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-17 (109 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) + SourcePackage: pulseaudio + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + dmi.bios.date: 10/07/2011 + dmi.bios.vendor: Intel Corp. + dmi.bios.version: BLH6710H.86A.0132.2011.1007.1505 + dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. + dmi.board.name: DH67CL + dmi.board.vendor: Intel Corporation + dmi.board.version: AAG10212-205 + dmi.chassis.type: 3 + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnIntelCorp.:bvrBLH6710H.86A.0132.2011.1007.1505:bd10/07/2011:svn:pn:pvr:rvnIntelCorporation:rnDH67CL:rvrAAG10212-205:cvn:ct3:cvr: + modified.conffile..etc.pulse.daemon.conf: [modified] + modified.conffile..etc.pulse.default.pa: [modified] + mtime.conffile..etc.pulse.daemon.conf: 2014-08-04T12:00:53.999120 + mtime.conffile..etc.pulse.default.pa: 2014-08-04T12:18:08.532386 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1352530 Title: Popping/Crackling sound when playing audio in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-hdmi-pulseaudio/+bug/1352530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
