This was driving me crazy for quite some time and I happened upon this from an askubuntu thread which mentioned the eventual fix
kernel details: ``` > uname -a Linux lightning 5.13.0-37-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 15 14:34:06 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` Uncommenting and setting `default-sample-rate` and `alternate-sample- rate` to `48000` in `/etc/pulse/daemon.conf` solved a periodic pop I was getting when connected via a HyperX Cloud II USB audio dongle. Using the headphones in the front TRS port would also prevent pops but this was not a solution as I use the microphone attached to the headphones. Glory to the person who solved this, what an obnoxious bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966066 Title: audio from external sound card is distorted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.13/+bug/1966066/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
