Bug Description
After upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy the sound has become distorted on my laptop.
Its a Conexant CX20549 (Venice) sound card.
It still works under the gutsy kernel 2.6.22-14 but fails under kernel 2.6.24-16.
I have tried upgrading alsa to 1.0.16rc1 with the same problem.

Ah, finally I've found someone with the same problem. I don't know exactly what Conexant I have in my HP Pavilion dv9000 but the sound is severely distorted after upgrading to 8.04. It's as if the volume being sent is far too high for the system to handle but the distortion is there even if I lower the master volume. It happens 100% of the time, not just with certain applications.
