Sound problem in Ubuntu 12.04

Asked by RIZA BAYOGLU

I recently upgraded my pc to 12.04 (from 10.04 version of Ubuntu). I noticed that when listening to music playing Totem player, the sound is not smooth especially at high volumes. By smooth I mean that sound coming my speaker makes some noise. Could anyone help me about this please?

Thanks

Rıza

Thanks for the help. But, it could not solve my problem.
Contrary to the link you gave, my main OS is Ubuntu and I use windows in virtual box. I have no problem with getting sound through speakers, but sound is like pause and start somehow. Is there any other way to fix it?

Thanks

I have a bug open here for the same issue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/941219

Though there is a little fix you could try by editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Add the following at the end:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Restart your machine and see if that fixes the issue.

I have two Acer laptops one has Realtek ALC1200 which has fixed the problem. But my other one has Realtek ALC889 and an NVIDIA MPC 77/78 HDMI card. Which does not want to play well. The sound on the speakers stays muted.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask RIZA BAYOGLU for more information if necessary.
