Had the same issues on 2 machines as well. Using a Xenyx 302 USB and had sudden periodic popping noise on the right side of my headphones.
Thanks to comment [#11](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- signed-hwe-5.13/+bug/1966066/comments/11) it is fixed for now. You can also restart with an older Kernel, that is what I did on my desktop. -- 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
