Bug Description
Binary package hint: alsa-base
First of all, notice that sound used to work well on Jaunty so this is likely to be a regression (some kind of power saving feature?).
I noticed this problem while testing Karmic for the first time (around alpha 3) and it's still there in alpha 4 now.
From time to time the internal speakers creak no matter if it's muted or not. Everything works fine, excepts that the speaker creaks whenever there is no sound played for a couple of seconds (something around 13 seconds). Its like the sound when you have a speaker plugged into a power socket and turn on a vacuum cleaner, or anything else that needs a lot of power for a few seconds.
The creaking is quite loud and really annoying, so I hope this can be fixed easily.
