Uninstalling pulse-audio is the only thing that's really worked for me: sudo apt-get remove libpulse-browse0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulsecore9 padevchooser paman paprefs pavucontrol pavumeter pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio- module-hal pulseaudio-module-x11 pulseaudio-module-zeroconf pulseaudio- utils vlc-plugin-pulse
then reboot. -- Crackling noise after update to pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301755 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
