I found something that seems to help. I modified the last line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with the text below and rebooted ( added options: model=6stack-dig and position_fix=1 ): options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N position_fix=1 model=6stack-dig
I also removed the /home/myusername/.pulse* directories but I don't know if that made any difference. Here's more details on my hardware for comparison ( http://www.humans-enabled.com/2009/09/gnulinux-3d-gaming-box-no-monitor-get.html ): $ lspci |grep Audio 00:09.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio (rev a1) $ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* |grep Codec Codec: Realtek ALC1200 $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 So now the "crunchiness" has gone away, and the sound doesn't go to mute everytime I reboot and log back in. This rocks!
