Public bug reported: I use a Samson «Go mic» for recording audio with Audacity. I connect my earphones to the mic and use it for hearing both my own voice live and the computer sound (I have to select it in Ubuntu's sound output settings).
This works fine for a while, and I can record and play back through the mic. Seemingly randomly, however, pressing play or otherwise trying to start playback sometimes makes Audacity skim quickly through the audio, playing garbled sounds which I assume are a fast forward version of my audio. Sometimes, it resumes normal playback before it reaches the end of the file, and everything seems fine. Most often, though, it does not, and pressing the stop button or anything else crashes Audacity. If I restart Audacity and restore the autosaved audio, the problem persists. However, selecting another audio output in Ubuntu's sound settings fixes the problem. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10, but this has been a problem since at least 15.04. I now use Audacity 2.0.6-2build1.
