I can also confirm this bug in Saucy, with Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
Repeatable behaviour calling skype's echo test. First call: No sound. Second call: Distorted noise comes out (and continues to come out until you fix) Third call: Works, and distorted noise gone However, wait a while and it repeats again. Tried that pulse latency hack above and the first call worked, we'll see if that sticks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208485 Title: [Thinkpad T520] Skype audio in Saucy broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1208485/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
