It seems as though the USB connection is cut for a short time and that makes the audio "crack". My USB DAC starts to blink the connection LED when the problem occurs. The connection LED stays on, when everything is OK.
I do use a wireless USB mouse and keyboard, but have done so before upgrading to 11.04. Dual-boot Windows 2008R2 does not have the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778078 Title: USB Audio playback gets broken, then starts working again -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
