Please also send us output from step 4.

Please also send us output from step 4 and post it at the following thread (which is "here"):

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/122361

Please avoid creating several threads that are related to the same issue, as it makes it a lot harder to follow what is going on.....

I just noticed that you skipped step ONE in the procedure (ALSA upgrade to version 1.0.23). So I will have to ask the same question again:

Please execute STEP ONE and STEP TWO, then reboot and send us the full terminal output from STEP THREE and STEP FOUR from this procedure:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

Hi, what does (Then, we go in our personal folder and download
alsa-driver, alsa-lib and alsa-utils )mean? Also have trouble
understanding (After that, we create a new folder for the compilation
and installation of the 3 files. Then, we move the 3 tar files that we
just downloaded in this folder :) What do I do here? thanks.

Stéphane Gaudreault is simply explaining what the next Terminal commands are going to do.

So if you copy-paste the commands in the procedure one by one - without skipping steps - the compilation procedure should work....

Installing the ALSA update to (1.0.23), impressed with the help offered, nearly gave up, Thanks all.

Is the buzzing issue solved since the ALSA upgrade? Any other audio distortions?

You can also install it via:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

No more buzzy sound after ALSA upgrade, thanks.

I updated ALSA with:

"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade"

Also with an IBM T21 but still experience buzzing.

Glad you got the gold :)

I dont understand?

Well hopefully this procedure will work:

http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/

Unfortunately it stalls at:

...wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.23.tar.bz2

Just hangs, I guess FTP server outage.

oh, sorry misread, i thought you said you had no buzzing. My bad

Not even with reboot. Maybe long winded way will work, as owner of question had identical hardware.

The buzzing I get is mostly Pidgin alerts.

My goodness I am THICK! CLI waiting for my input... :D

Re-compiling ALSA kernel via CLI as per instructions worked!!!

Yey!

Pidgin & You Tube no longer buzz/distort, but previously OK CD playback via Exaile/Movie Player now have horrible clicking/distortion.

I have executed step 1 from this procedure:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

but am having trouble with setting Xubuntu's terminal to unlimited scroll. The instructions in guide do not relate to the terminal options on my screen.

It would seem picking OSS from Exaile's playback tab, closing Exaile, & restarting solves the broken up audio.
