My only suggestion, from my experience, is to try to do a fresh complete
install, not an upgrade from 8.10. When I did the upgrade I had the
same problems but after doing a fresh from scratch install of Jaunty my
sound and video work fine.

> I hope this isn't a dupe. A few people (myself included) are experiencing odd crackling / scratching noises when using pulseaudio. This frequently happens when you try to start a new piece of music or video. Sometimes it will crackle for a few seconds, then play as normal; sometimes it will fast-forward through a few minutes of the song then start playing; sometimes it will crackle then stop entirely and I have to kill pa.
