Comment 29 for bug 347544

This started when I upgraded from 9.04 -> 10.10. Get very noticeable crackling/distortion on 100% of pidgin sounds. Tried changing sound from Automatic to Alsa in pidgin and got no sound. Unsure if this is due to improper configuration or not. All other sounds on the system are 100% fine - Rhythymbox, Amarok, gxine, vlc, flash in browser.
