This bug is similar to that of bug #551949. The sound goes bad but... if one waits a few seconds, with no audio playing, it will then be fine for a while. If it goes bad (popping, distorted), it will not cure itself unless all sound apps are turned off for a while. For me, playing a system s

A. If you only `modprobe cx18` and `modprobe ir_kbd_i2c` then your remote will act like an infrared keyboard. irw will not work as it needs the lircd daemon running before it will work as an ir remote for other programs. So I suspect that you have the correct modules loaded but... you do no
