I have the same thing happening on Ubuntu 14.04. Identical; popping and when that happens volume goes for a few millisecs to another level then back. In the audio settings, analogue output dissapears exactly when the sound pops and reappears immediately.
As the initial poster mentioned on the forum, if I plug the speakers/headphones in the front jack of the PC it works normally - no popping. So popping only happens when only back side jack is used with speakers. Forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2245429 For example if I have speakers conncted to back jack and headphones to front jack sound also works normally in both. Is this a hardware (front jack malfunction) or software problem? Should I go back to the store and ask for replacements? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353013 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/1353013/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
