This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report[0]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

Please follow the instructions on the wiki page[0]. The first step is to email the appropriate mailing list. If no response is received, then a bug may be opened on bugzilla.kernel.org.

Once this bug is reported upstream, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-reported-upstream'.

Peter-jezdec, does this problem happen in the kernel provided by default in Ubuntu (not upstream 3.15-rc7)?

This bug occurs in every kernel I've tried. That includes 3.13.0-24.46 from 14.4, as well as a few kernels from 13.10, and a whole bunch from 12.4. I currently use 3.15-rc7 due to a video bug that is fixed in that kernel:

My apologies, apparently I have two sound cards and the wrong one was default. I did spend an inordinate amount of time trying to learn about sound problems without learning much. Finally, I got some hints from an answer from the <email address hidden> mailing list.
