[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1208218] Re: intermittent left-channel audio distortion
Never mind that -- the problem continues, although turning off auto-mute seems to have changed the character of the distortion, making it slightly quieter, and it also made it unresponsive to the "rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound* ~/.pulse-cookie" command. However, I discovered that the left channel is only distorted in the sound coming out the front headphone jack -- the line-out jack in the back of the computer case sounds fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208218 Title: intermittent left-channel audio distortion Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since I installed this version of Ubuntu (Xubuntu 12.04 upgraded to Ubuntu Studio), I occasionally get crackly or fuzzy distortion in the left audio channel.
