I have exact the same problem with Rhythmbox 0.11.2, and I must put the Rhythmbox volumen to 50%.
I think it is the same problem there http://www.mail-archive.com /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04056.html With other player there isn't this "distortion" or what it is. It sounds like the speakers were damage, buy with Exaile, Mplayer, Banshee and Rhythmbox there is no problem. It comes when the song has very high tones. So I think thats Rhythmbox problem, not from the audiocard. If you need any log please tell me how I get it and I will post it. -- Cracking and poppling sound when Rythmbox volume controller is set to max https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
