feedback coming from Macbook Pro speakers

[ekuenzli]

Hear a humming sound coming from laptop internal speakers. When I change preferences on audio, the sound goes away for about 30 seconds, then returns. Rather annoying. Just installed ubuntu 9.10 on the bootcamp partitionm, macbook pro 2.2.

Hi ekuenzli,

Please, if you are still having issues, test with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p alsa-base 491425

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

Please let us know your results.
