Comment 11 for bug 275392

Just to clarify in system>preferences>sound - if I put all options on autodetect and press 'test sound' I hear a crackling/static sort of noise, the same if I change sound playback to ALSA or pulseaudio. However if sound playback is changed to OSS I hear a perfect test tone.

I have tried the methods described here: HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes (distilled) - *Updated, Call For Testing!* - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866965 which it seems Luke you're involved with. Alas this has not helped at all.

Anyone please help? Especially Luke, you seem to know what you're doing. I'm currently using a dell inspiron 1525 - the ones dell ship with ubuntu preinstalled so I imagine this could potentially effect quite a few ubuntu users!

Thanks,
Joe
