Workaround fixed it for me, same symptoms rolling back to 5.13.0-35 is fine, 5.13.0-37 has the issue.
@~magen you need to use sudo to elevate your access sudo nano /etc/pulse/daemon.conf Find the line with default-sample-rate Remove the ; and change the value to 48000, do the same for alternate- sample-rate so it will look like: default-sample-rate = 48000 alternate-sample-rate = 48000 Press CTRL + X to save and exit. Then run pulseaudio -k to restart your audio. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966066 Title: audio from external sound card is distorted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.13/+bug/1966066/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
