Audio signal interference when using in conjunction with firefox

[Roberto do Rego]

When using the program to listen to music and open firefox, in some cases this action generates a strong and persistent hiss.
The problem also occurs with vlc player too, just close the browser to stop the noise.

Roberto, based on your description, the problem does not seem specific to gstreamer (VLC does not use gstreamer). So I am changing the package to pulseaudio for now to help gather information. Please run the following command from the affected machine to automatically gather audio information:
apport-collect 1934400
