The only way I've been able to get around this bug in 12.04 on my T60 (w/ Radeon x1400) is by using Unity 2D. All other session types, including Gnome (with and without effects) and ones I've installed afterwards like Cinnamon and Cairo reintroduce the gargling audio. So pretty much since day one, I've stuck with Unity 2D and it's been doing fine.
However, the problem with this workaround is that they're getting rid of Unity 2D in the latest updates to 12.04. If you blindly update your Ubuntu without checking what it's doing, you will lose the option altogether. I haven't done this myself, so I don't know if this latest all-in-one version of Unity has fixed the issue, but I have no reason to believe it would. Has anyone who updated to the latest Unity had any luck? I'm not exactly rushing to see if it breaks my Ubuntu, since I wouldn't know how to undo it, and I don't have backup space for my whole install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879790 Title: Sound doesn't play properly after upgrade from 11.04->11.10, also affects 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/879790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
