Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Hi!
I'm not exactly sure if this problem comes from pulseaudio or ALSA.
Fact is, that all my boxes "play" a silent but hearable buzzing noise everytime my computer is in "idle".
In this case, "idle" means that the noise is not playing when I play any real sound like an (empty) mp3. The sound also disappears when the processor is busy (for example the noise stops while I scroll websites), or while I have my audio settings open. When I used windows I didn't have this problem too.
My 5.1 speaker system is plugged in on the analogue jacks of my on-board sound.
Thanks for your help.

I just found this workarround on launchpad: /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ pulseaudio/ +bug/449672/ comments/ 4
https:/
I commented out "load-module module- suspend- on-idle" in /etc/pulse/ default. pa and /etc/pulse/ system. pa and restarted alsa with "sudo alsa force-reload". Now the buzzing noise is gone, but I can't hear any sound on youtube no more (all other sound source I've tested by now is working) :( ...
Is there a possibility to get youtube playing sound again?
Thank you!
