[Bug 2072432] Re: Loud, brief speaker popping/distortion occurs when clicking on empty or white screen areas

2024-07-11 Thread Nick Peyton
Update:

Editing /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save' from '1' to '0'
is a temporary workaround. So it is indeed caused by the audio chipset's
power-saving.


Seems the root cause is that mouse clicks that were never intended to produce a 
sound (i.e., clicking empty screen space) should not be interacting with sound 
chipset power saving?

And/or perhaps the length of time before sound power saving is activated
is insufficient (currently 10-ish seconds)?

There is evidence that In the long-term speakers can suffer permanent
damage.

** Description changed:

  Relentless, loud, (sudden) speaker pops/distortion when clicking on any
  screen areas (including empty or white-space) in ANY browser (Chromium
  and Firefox).
  
- This feels like it might be related to a bug with a power-saving
- feature, not a Chrome/Firefox issue. Our systems are dual-boot and I
- cannot replicate this under Windows in either browser.

  The sound is similar to the loud 'pop' normally only heard when
  initially powering on external speakers connected to the 3.5mm audio
  jacks on the back of all consumer ATX motherboards.
  
  If clicking continues without a pause exceeding 10-15 seconds, no
  popping sound occurs. However, if there is a single click followed by a

  to someone turning the speakers off and on. Keyboard input does not
