Bug Description
Binary package hint: skype
Once every few restarts Skype sound is heavily distorted. It sounds like 3 sounds were mixed instead original one: base, lower-frequency base and noise (a brown one). Sometimes one Skype restart is enough to restore proper sound playback.
It can be easily tested using sound test and test call. Usually Skype makes a sound while logging in, it's distorted when it happens.
Skype version: 2.2.0.25 (Ubuntu)
This problem happens only in Ubuntu 11.04, kernel 2.6.38-8.
(I've tested it with 2.6.39-0, and haven't experienced the problem, but I didn't have enough time to test it)
This problem doesn't appear with Skype 2.2.0.25 installed on Linux Mint 10 or Ubuntu 10.x.
No other applications (like mplayer, totem, audacious, flash-plugin) have any problems with sound distortion. While the Skype sound output is distorted, other applications play sound without distortion in the same time.
