[Bug 1352530] Re: Popping/Crackling sound when playing audio in Ubuntu 14.04

 

Nevermind, I made a new report using "ubuntu-bug" to provide more
comprehensive info.  Please close this bug and refer to bug #1353013
instead.

** Description changed:

  When listening to audio (pandora internet radio, youtube, etc.), I get a
  repeated popping/crackling sound.  When I look at the sound settings
  while this is happening, I see "Headphone Output" rapidly appearing and
  then disappearing in the "Play Sound Through" section.  The appearance
  and disappearance of "Headphone Output" coincides with the popping and
  crackling of the sound.
  
  I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that my Nvidia
  card has a built-in HDMI card that might be interfering with my onboard
  sound:
  
  $ cat /proc/asound/cards
   0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                        HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7220000 irq 54
   1 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                        HDA NVidia at 0xf7080000 irq 55
  cat /proc/asound/modules
   0 snd_hda_intel
   1 snd_hda_intel
  
  Obviously blacklisting "snd_hda_intel" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
  won't work, because it then disables all sound (both onboard and nvidia
  are listed as snd_hda_intel).
