Static/cracking/distortion heard when sound is muted

[Travis Whitaker]

g-v-m version 2.24.0-0ubuntu1
Ubuntu 9.04
Dell Inspiron 1520

What happens: If I mute the volume, and then an event that causes a sound to be played occurs, a static/cracking sound is produced.

What should happen: Muting the volume should cause the speakers to produce no sound.

This appears to affect all applications, and regardless if I use ALSA or PulseAudio.

If there is anymore information I can provide, I would be happy to do so.

Pressing the mute button on my laptop seems to mute the PCM output. This doesn't happen if I mute the master output.
