Comment 19 for bug 751265

Same problem with Skype + pulseaudio, fresh Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) x86_64 install. Skype seems to be the only application suffering of this problem. Details at:

I tried tens of configuration with no success. Had to purge pulseaudio; now I'm using pure ALSA (and sometimes Jack, experiencing slightly different problems).

The noise I hear (same for recording) is a bit different than the one from Gotisch. Sound is just noisy, sometimes stops, sometimes a big sample (~half second) is repeated some seconds later. However, I was not able to grab any sample: even when recording from audio mix (or recording skype calls) samples are perfectly clear. It's just in reproducing.

Hardware: sony vaio VPCS11E7E, module snd-hda-intel, codec Realtek ALC275.
lspci: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)
