Public bug reported:
When playing some mp3's that have deep electronic beats I would often get very
strong distortion from my speakers or headset. The distortion would persist
even at low volume levels and even when the PCM output volume was low. I
discovered a recommendation at:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1437919&postcount=10
It involved removing the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 package and making
sure that the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly package is installed. This
worked perfectly for me and others and well. Now I have absolutely no
distortion.
I would recommend removing this package unless it is essential for
playback of certain media types that cannot be handled by the ugly
package.
