I'm assigning this bug to sdl-mixer, since other applications that don't use it work fine. Changing the description also.
** Changed in: Ubuntu Sourcepackagename: None => sdl-mixer1.2 ** Summary changed: - Sound (OGG) in certain applications crackles & snaps + Sound (OGG) crackles & snaps when SDL volume not set at 100% ** Description changed: After an upgrade from Dapper to Edgy, sound in certain applications and games starts to crackle. A few affected apps are Wesnoth, Neverball, and Neverputt. When playing the OGG files seperately, they sound fine. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1624910 - The problem so far seems to only be affecting integrated Intel sound cards. + The problem so far seems to only be affecting integrated Intel sound cards.
