This noise is always clearly audible - when playing good quality media MP3, FLAC files or not so good quality media from Youtube or not playing any music/video at all. I experienced this problem since the latest Adobe Flash player 11.2.202.228 (partly) crashed my computer. It played the video but w/o audio from Youtube and other sites. After a "crash" like that I couldn't get any sound even from avi files played from HDD via whatever player I could find. After reinstalling Ubuntu and uninstalling GNASH, the flash player works in 60% of the cases, but no audio in the rest. Restarting the browser doesn't help, system restart is needed to get the sound back. Anyhow, I don't care about flash player issues, please advise on the background noise issue.
