Bug Description

Hello.

I use precice with the newest updates (But this was also the same problem on 11.10).

Sometimes the sound "crash". It sounds terrible. Sometimes 3x a day, sometimes not.

2 Days ago, i played with Totem a song repeat. It played 10, 15 times normal. After that, it sounds like a needle scratches on a vinyl. Solution is, close all software that use sound, wait 10 seconds. After that, i playes well again.

It doesnt matter if i use Totem, Rhythmbox, Firefox (YouTube), Radiotray, VDR. It happens with all software sometimes.

My Computer is a Intel i2400 on a Asus P8H67-V Board.

I have no idea what logs are usefull, so please let me know. I will post it if it happens again.

It happens again, this time, its more like a "ringing".

I recorded it via my mp3-player. It sounds not so good, but you can a good impression of it

And maybe this is also useful. It only happens when a new sound begins. A new mp3 in Rhythmbox, i start VDR or a Video in Totem. It never happens while a sound is playing.

And again this strange "ringing".

I do now "apport-collect 950959" once again.
