[Bug 1421981] [NEW] Plugging in microphone causes speakers to emit loud noises

 

Public bug reported:

As soon as I plug in my microphone, speakers start to emit loud
distorted noises. This makes using microphone impossible. The noises
persist even when I restart, and go away sometime in the boot process -
that is if the microphone was unplugged before the restart. I dualboot
and on Windows everything is fine.
