I've experienced this issue during 2 weeks approximately. Started after an upgrade too.
I've 2 laptops at home and 1 desktop at the office; all running Mint, and all updated to the same version -I would need to double check this, but as I upgrade regularly I think this is the case. I've this issue at home only, in a Macbook pro 6,2. The desktop and the other laptop, both Dell, don't show this issue. At the beginning it was more like a scratched CD; but after trying to solve the problem by upgrading, downgrading, removing packages, etc. it's just silence for a period of 1 second and a half approx. I would upload part of the syslog but I don't think it's necessary, it shows pretty much this Oct 21 21:25:30 pau pulseaudio[8779]: [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: /dev/snd/controlC0 is accessible: yes Oct 21 21:26:31 pulseaudio[8779]: last message repeated 478 times Oct 21 21:27:31 pulseaudio[8779]: last message repeated 480 times Oct 21 21:28:31 pulseaudio[8779]: last message repeated 420 times Oct 21 21:29:31 pulseaudio[8779]: last message repeated 236 times Oct 21 21:30:31 pulseaudio[8779]: last message repeated 231 times Pulse is running without verbose mode; just notice; I've tried to increase it by updating /etc/init/pulseaudio.conf but seems like it didn't work. I'll try again later on; but it's good to know that I'm not alone on this one.
