Just installed the latest pulseaudio updates - no change. During boot up, it sounds like someone testing a microphone with a sharp object twice, but other sounds have a staccatissimo burst.

It happens just before a system sound is played as well as when launching an audio player, including suchi. After the initial burst, sounds of all kind play normally. I've tested it on my 64 bit partition as well with the same result. I don't know if it's pulseaudio causing the problem and it doesn't affect my internal speakers.
