I have experienced distortion with many brand new cables in the past. And sometimes it only happens when they are twisted (e.g. a mismatched connection between 3/4 pin jacks).
Please try some other cables, other headphones, and other jacks if you have any more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822446 Title: [B450M DS3H, Realtek ALC887-VD] Sound is occasionally distorted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1822446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
