Public bug reported: On upgrading from Ubuntu 18LTS to 20.04LTS I find that if I stop playing sound 5 seconds after stopping any correctly playing sounds (video / music / radio / system ) a loud hum starts in both speakers. This is volume independent. Before the speakers would just turn off automatically and go into standby mode.
expected action........... stop playing a sound and speakers go silent current action .......... stop playing a sound and 5 seconds later speakers go from silent to a loud volume independent hum ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-26.30-generic 5.4.30 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: adrian 2706 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: adrian 2706 F...m pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: adrian 2706 F.... pulseaudio CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Wed Apr 29 10:13:38 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-20 (709 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: alsa-driver Symptom: audio Symptom_AlsaPlaybackTest: ALSA playback test through plughw:PCH successful Symptom_Card: Sound Core3D [Sound Blaster Recon3D / Z-Series] (SB1570 SB Audigy Fx) - HDA Creative Symptom_PulsePlaybackTest: PulseAudio playback test successful Symptom_Type: None of the above Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH, playback] Playback problem UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2020-04-24 (5 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 11/07/2017 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: F23 dmi.board.asset.tag: Default string dmi.board.name: H110M-S2H-CF dmi.board.vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. dmi.board.version: x.x dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 7438200-003 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: NOVATECH LTD dmi.chassis.version: V1.0 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrF23:bd11/07/2017:svnNOVATECHLTD:pnMBB-71004:pvrV1.0:rvnGigabyteTechnologyCo.,Ltd.:rnH110M-S2H-CF:rvrx.x:cvnNOVATECHLTD:ct3:cvrV1.0: dmi.product.family: AMI PLATFORM dmi.product.name: MBB-71004 dmi.product.sku: MBB-71004 dmi.product.version: V1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: NOVATECH LTD ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875828 Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH, playback] Hum problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1875828/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
