Please try: 1. Booting Ubuntu 18.10 on the machine to see if this bug is already fixed: http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.10/
2. A different set of headphones. 3. Other audio output methods like the built-in speakers or Bluetooth. Do any of those help? ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1800899 Title: Line out and headphones audio output keep swithing causing crackles in sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1800899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
