Bug Description

As described, a click on speakers occurs when a sound is played, whatever the program playing it. Always have to be a time with no sound when a playing finishes. Searching at Fedora bugzilla, that kernel parameter was suggested. snd_hda_intel.power_save=0
I tried it and the problem is solved. I hope this helps Ubuntu solving it for overall users.

Sorry, package is PULSEAUDIO or sound system in general. I don't know how to identify the package.
