Public bug reported:

About a year ago, my Toshiba laptop running on Vista broke down. The hard-disk had crashed. Bought a new one and found I could not re-install Vista. As support was about to finish anyway, I switched to Xubuntu 12.04 LTS. Things ran more or less OK, except for the sound.
That had been really very good, and now was crackly, too loud and distorted. Alsamixer made it less loud, but didn´t improve the quality. The headphones are OK. I thought things would be better once I installed 14.04, but are exactly the same.
