Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Every 5 to 20 seconds i have a scratch sound very annoying, like a switch we put on and off ... even if i'm doing nothing.
I have this problem since Karmic alpha 6, not in jaunty where sound is correct.
If i use the sound gui and select sound off i still have the scratch effect, and i have no way (with gui) to select other manager (like alsa) than pulseaudio to test.
For info in live-cd and at first boot after install sound is very loud, i have to put it at 20/30 % maximum (no pcm parameter in the new sound gui).
I won't use karmic with such a bug it drives me crazy ... i keep going on jaunty waiting for a solution.
Apport bug attached ...

WHat is the CPU usage when you play audio in karmic? The easiest way to find this out is to run gnome-system- monitor.
Secondly, have you tried disabling pulseaudio's glitch free function? To do this, edit /etc/pulse/ default. pa, and find this line:
load-module module-udev-detect
Then add "tsched=0" to the end of it, log out, and log back in.
Finally, were you attempting to play audio when running the live CD, or when karmic was installed?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
