Comment 114 for bug 67810

Exactly. There are plenty of problems with Gutsy's kernel as I've heard and so it's not wise to think that upgrading to it is a wonderful solution and everyone who experience this bug should do that.

Yes, I know that there are patches one can apply to its system to make the noise go away but:

1) There are quite a few users for whom the patches don't work for some reason or who are just not capable of applying them.
2) Most of the patches don't lose the noise on hibernation/suspend.
3)As said in previous comments: there are many users who aren't even aware of the problem so they can't fix it.

What exactly is the technical difficulty with this bug that prevents the release of a proper patch?
