Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.25+3~deb7u1
Severity: important


        Difficulties with sound on new Wheezu install

My sound, which worked perfectly on Squeeze, now is
"staticky/crackily" interrrupted, and unclear.  I took my new
computer to Microcenter in Rockville MD, and they swapped out the
motherboard.  Before returning it to me they tested the sound
system with a Ubuntu disk they had and reported that the
sound was very imperfect, describing it as I have above.  But
they also tested it with a M$ tester, and they reported that
the sound using M$ was perfectly clear and normal.

I am reporting this as a bug with ALSA, but pulseaudio may be
at fault.
