I confirm, the cable has 2 ends, labeled HD AUDIO and AC'97, I tried both and without, same problem.
I tried removing the SPEAKER cable, it's a little cable for the beep sound of the motherboard, the end of this one is a little cylinder producing the beep, same problem. In Windows, the driver I'm using, which are working are : Sound, video and game controllers - High Definition Audio Device - Realtek High Definition Audio But in Linux it seems it's using HDA Intel, maybe it's the wrong driver? I can also add that in alsamixer, if I try to put at 0 : Surround, Center, LFE and Side, as soon as the annoying noise comes in, it reset everything to 100.

Having issues with sound when using headphones plugged into the front ports. Something that doesn't happen when booting to windows - so fairly confident it's an Ubuntu issue. When listening to any sound, music, video etc the sound levels jump up and down and click. If I open "sound" from the settings menu when playing videos or music and viewing the "output" tab I can see "headphone - built-in audio disappear and reappear (very quickly) so I'm guessing the system is jumping back to the "analogue output" and back again which is why the sound volume changes and clicks. Worth noting I never used my headphones when 12.04 was installed so not sure if it's this OS or Ubuntu hates my hardware generally. Booted from live cd (usb) to 12.04 and there wasnt any issue. Anyone seen this before? any advice? Sound is built in to motherboard. I have the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5.
