I have had problems with pulseaudio since F13 so the problem is not new just that I have been working since 12 AM till now 6:30 AM trying to fix it and I have failed the only thing left from what I see is a complete reinstall. When I start skype it works for 5 secs then the sound becomes corrupt and make a large crackling noise. I have reinstalled alsa and pulse atleast 10 times removed any trace of config files and still the same result. It first broke when I turned off tsched in hopes that my microphone will no longer broadcast a buzzing sound. This setting broke everything and even after I reverted it the symptoms remained the same. It's 3rd time I reinstall fedora because of pulseaudio. Until the problem can be fixed I have reverted back to ALSA.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis is a weird and persistent bug that I've been having. It's persisted across multiple distros (Arch and Debian) and is currently making my computer only usable without sound. I'm beginning to think it's the hardware.
Anyway, the hardware is a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop. I'm currently running Debian 8. The crackling noise begins shortly after I log in - it happens regardless of whether the audio is muted, or whether anything is currently playing. It's a very, very loud noise - on the level of a vacuum cleaner or similar (maybe, these things are hard to estimate). It sounds sort of like a fast series of crackling pops. If I put the machine to sleep with the power button the crackling will go away for a little bit after I resume - I haven't timed it or anything but I imagine that it takes 30 seconds to start up again (after the computer has woken from sleep).
I can completely eliminate the problem by doing the following:
Code: Select allblacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi
blacklist snd_hda_intel
blacklist soundcore
blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek
blacklist snd_hda_codec_generic
[Code] ....
But obviously, this makes the sound on the laptop not work at all. I've been listening to music with my phone, which is an ok workaround, but I'm a programmer and I'd like to be able to watch talks on youtube and so on.

It started happening on Arch after a pretty standard install (i3wm with Xorg, browser, terminal emulator, etc) and I suspected that I had misconfigured something, so I installed Debian - I know other Debian users with this laptop who have not had this issue, and so I figured the default settings would treat me better. No such luck - it started happening again on the clean Debian install. One detail - both installs (the Arch install and the Debian one) use full disk encryption (lvm on LUKS) but I can't think of how that would affect it.
My only thought is that it's some weird power saving mode issue - the soundcard isn't used for a bit, so it cycles to a lower power state, and the bad thing happens.
I've tried some workarounds like adding an audio entry in the registry but it did not work. I think that the problem is related with the pulseaudio driver...

I followed this guide -http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=225660 - which fixed my issues in videos playing on the web and in VLC. However; in the last few days sound has bugun crackling again in VLC while playing videos (web is fine). All updates have been applied and I am running 32 bit Fedora 11.
Also totem when playing video crashes, freezes, crackles etc while playing videos though playing sound files is fine with no issues. Any ideas how I might solve this and get my sound while playing videos back to how it used to be?
My desktop becomes very quiet once windows7 is loaded.. but the fan, maybe cpu fan runs continuously in fedora 13. though it's not quite noisy, I thought I didn't install the correct drivers for the Asus h55 mb. the mb cd has a directory "isolinux", which contains a boot.cat, isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg along with two subdirectories, data & src. but isolinux.bin is not executable.. how can I install the drivers in fedora?

I have installed Skype beta 2.1 on my ubuntu 9.04, everything works except the mic. All I get is noise (SSSHHHHH) when i try to use it. moreover Looking in volume control, no matter what volume I have the mic set to initially, as soon as I initiate a call the mic volume goes all the way to zero (then initiating that crackling staticky bug) and turning it back up doesn't work as the volume slider just slides back down. and also one of the mic channels (left or right, I can't remember) comes to zero and slowly the other follows it.

While watching a movies or playing Youtube videos it's less noticeable, but when I'm typing up or working it really gets frustrating.
I've tried to figure out if pulseaudio was the culprit. uninstalled and rebooted yet crackling and pops continued. I haven't yet altered or messed around with ALSA or snd_hda_intel driver. But I did notice while using Audio Mixer, muting the speakers section stopped the crackling ...
So I guess the problem lies with Alsa or snd_hda_intel or both?

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 9.10 and there's now a strange high-pitched crackling distortion sound whenever I play any kind of sound with any program, which seems to stop and start at random. My sound card is an SiS SI7012, and the sound was working perfectly before I upgraded.I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Pulseaudio or ALSA or what. I tried removing all of the Pulseaudio packages, but that didn't help, and I also tried doing 'remove completely' on all of the Pulseaudio and ALSA packages and then reinstalling, but that didn't work either

I am not sure what is causing it, but the sound quality will be amazing and then randomly go to this crackling, static, ping, underwater sound for people in Mangler and for the WoW sound.
What I do is go system > preferences > sound and then turn the sound to off and then back to my setting and it is fixed. It will then come back randomly. It could be 5 minutes or an hour.
Anyone have any clue what this could be or how to narrow it down. Makes raiding kind of hard when I have to fix my sound randomly while healing a boss fight.
It did this on 10.04 and then on 10.10
I recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 (9.04 support just ran out). Ideally, I'd upgrade further to 10.04 or 10.10, but I am somewhat bandwidth limited, and so the additional 1.5GB upgrade to 10.04 is a last resort. After upgrading, I picked up a nice crackling sound. It seems to be tied to activity. Typing up this post resulted in a few crackling sounds a minute, but scrolling up or down, resizing windows, or doing anything more intensive (such as listening to music), and the frequency picks up.
lspci lists two audio devices: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio Though I believe the second one is for a port on my video card, and thus the first one seems to be the one actually in use. If it matters at all, I'm running 64-bit, and am currently dual booting with Arch Linux (which has its own audio issues, and I was putting off tracking down because Ubuntu worked fine).
When ever I have sound coming into line in I hear a crackling noise. The noise also ends up coming in through my Mic as well so everyone in Skype gets to hear it as well! If there is no sound coming into the line in then the crackling noise goes away. I have attached a recording from my Mic with sound coming in line in. or not I can't figure out how to attach it.

Recently upgraded to Fedora 12 and I installed the Moblin Desktop Environment with
Code:
yum groupinstall "Moblin Desktop Environment" The DE works but there are no applications of anykind installed except for volume control and network devices, I can't even log out or shutdown without switching to a TTY.
I have used moblin before and I'm assuming I am just missing some part of the environment? How can I get those base apps installed?
Everytime i switch between XP and Fedora, my system clock changes with +/- 2 hours.... So I have to adjust my system time everytime.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded (twice) to 8.1 and I get constant crackling sound - interestingly only from my left speaker. It starts already after the GRUB boot, and when logged in it just cracks all the time.
- in Wheezy there is no this kind of problem
- I have installed Jessie (crackling), fresh install back to Wheezy (no problem), fresh install again Jessie (problem), back to Wheezy (no problem), and now Jessie (again problem).
- the volume slide is jumping like crazy together with crackling. There is no chance to manually change it.
I have managed (by some unknown chance) to set profile to off, and now it disappeared. However, it comes back ON when rebooted.
I've got some sort of problem with my sound configurations (I think). There's this crackling/disturbance (with an ocational beeping sound) coming from my headset whenever I insert a headset or speaker. Turning the sound off doesn't make it stop either.I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Acer Veriton 3600GT (some years old).

On Maverick, I noticed a couple of days ago when I started an MP3 of a single tone recording it had a 'crackle' for about a quarter of a second at the start of playback. I initially thought there was a problem with the recording but I have noticed it is universal and I now pick up it is happening on some songs too (particularly if they start on a single note, not all songs seem affected).
This is a problem if I double-click a sound file which I open in Totem, it's also a problem if I start playing an affected track on Rhythmbox, it also happens if I just hover the mouse to start playback, but interestingly any problematic file if I load into Audacity there is no problem at all and the file plays correctly.
I doubt anyone else will have noticed this bug as it is so small and I wouldn't have picked up on it had I not been playing a single tone recording, but now I have picked up on it I can detect it all the time which is annoying. Has anyone else noticed at all?
I've been trying to configure my revo R3700 over the last day and I'm finally there. HDMI sound is working apart from the fact that all sound is crackling. Sound is working through analogue without issue its just HDMI that is distorted
I initially did the command
aplay -Dplughw:1,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Which produced no crackling or distortion. I then tried a mp3 which was distorted and crackling, upon trying the same command as above later on, this too started to be distorted
Searched through the forum and theres a few people that have had this issue and have resolved it simply by edited alsamixer however this isn't working.
I've been through what I could find in searches here, but nothing fixed the problem so far.Here's the situation: I am using Ubuntu Natty 11.04, dual booting. So I know the sound is fine on the XP system, and also works crisp and clear on my Vista laptop sitting next to me. I've tried the sound through Banshee, Amarok and Exaile all with the same crackling as if the file was ripped off a bad CD. I'll repeat that I've tested the speakers, and also the jack port (being that there are two on my PC) so I am fairly certain it is an issue with Ubuntu. Here is the ALSA information report: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ad...8b8d1ee19905a5
It's not a problem with PCM- the crackling will go away if the level on PCM is like 30~ but then the sound is very quiet even with Master and speaker volume at 100, at which point you can still make out the crackling.
I've had a snap, crackle, pop coming from my speakers since I put this machine together, even now, with no reason for any sound to be coming from the speakers. Additionally, the crackling only becomes worse when I play ANY audio regardless of player or source, however the sound does just drop for a few seconds and then back and then off again when there is SUPPOSED to be audio. I understand not working at all, but "kinda" working is more confusing.
I'm running slack64 with the with an updated kernel from current, even though the rest of the machine is stock 13_64. The problem was the same with the original 2.6.29.6 kernel.
