Comment 83 for bug 116990

I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 and I have been using Rhythmbox music player. The sound was perfect on it; no cracking sound at the maximum volume possible. Then I was fiddling with the volume control properties (Ubuntu desktop, not the Rhythmbox volume) by right clicking on the volume icon at the top-right corner of my desktop. All of a sudden I noticed strong cracking sounds. This happens even at low volumes, I tried lowering the master volume and player volume but to no avail. I am 100% sure that there was no cracking earlier. Moreover there is no cracking when I tried playing this song in Totem. Clearly something went wrong with Rhythmbox. Does anyone of you have a clue? I am trying to play mp3 music files. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 so I have alsa-1.0.14 installed and I am using the default version of Rhythmbox that came with Ubuntu 7.10

My problem seems to be different that what others have reported because sound on Rhythmbox was fine but suddenly it started cracking. Could this be another bug?
