Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
As this appears to be due to the encoding used it is likely that this issue is at pulseaudio or media-hub, I'm going to add media-hub to the bug so they can decide if the issue is in that part of the stack. Is it possible for you to share the problematic file to us to assist with debugging? Either attach to the bug (if possible legally/due to copyright) or send a message directly to us by selecting our profile in Launchpad and then contact user. If you have an Ubuntu desktop, do you experience the same problems when playing with Totem/Rhythmbox? ** Also affects: media-hub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1537932 Title: music app struggling to play certain files without "crackling" noises being produced To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/music-app/+bug/1537932/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
