Bug Description
I have an Intel audio on my HP laptop.
When playing any sound (e.g. warning sounds from command line, etc.) the output I hear is a loud crack in speakers and than the sound. The speakers do the crack sound even when the headphones are connected, just the sound is played back in the headphones only.
It seems like something with power saving - windows is performing simmiliar behaviour. But I still have an installation of Intrepid and there is no such thing - the playback is smooth, no cracking, nothing. The cracking sound does not appear when playing two sounds with minimal time difference (e.g. 10 seconds), but with bigger difference (e.g. a minute), the cracking is back.
Also, now I noticed, that before the playback the mute icon (the diode on the laptop body, not the indicator in main panel of Ubuntu) shines for a short time, than turns off again. Maybe that's the reason of the cracking sound, but as I said, such behaviour did not exists in Intrepid.
