Public bug reported: mp3 playback in moc started crackling after an upgrade to fisty, however, other apps like beep-media-player plays perfectly with both oss and alsa. It doesn't appear to be kernel related as both my old hand rolled 2.6.20 and the fisty kernel is affected. Downgrading manually to either the edgy or dapper libasound2 removes the static. Revert to the fisty version and it starts crackling again.
The sound card is a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (snd_cs46xx driver), motherboard chipset is an Intel 845D. Kernel version is fisty's 2.6.20-13-generic. affected versions: 1.0.13-1ubuntu4 not affected: 1.0.10-2ubuntu4 1.0.11-7ubuntu3 ** Affects: alsa-lib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- sound crackling with feisty libasound2 in some apps https://launchpad.net/bugs/97004 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
