(Get the code!)
I can confirm this bug for Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 5 64-Bit with all updates as of today. There have been issues with Ubuntu and this MacBook Pro rev. 3 here in the past (eg one day after some update I couldn't get any sound any more at all), and sound quality has been low and max volume has been too low in the past. But now when I start the new 9.04 system the sound is even far worse than with 8.10. It's like rough and slightly crackling. No good at all.
Seems to me sound has been far better when I booted up the system for the first time. I haven't done any substantial changes on the system since then except for installing the proprietary Nvidia-180 driver (I would have tried the Nouveau open source driver but the installation routine did not offer to do so.)
