The issue is still present on a fresh install of Saucy, and also just now tested with the daily livecd of Trusty with the same results. The "nohz=off" workaround still works in both cases.
I will upload the apport information for the Trusty daily livecd shortly. I am uploading a direct line recording I just made of "speaker-test -c2 -tsine -f80" which shows the problem. The best way I can describe it is an intermittent "mincing" in the left channel only. ** Attachment added: "Left channel crackling audio sample, Delta 1010LT card + F11 BIOS" https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/814426/+attachment/3905843/+files/mincing_audio.ogg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/814426 Title: Crackling Sound on PCI card Status in The Linux Kernel: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On my CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme 1030 desktop running up-to-date Natty Narwhal 64bit on fresh install, there is a variable crackling overlaying the sound on my card when any sound is playing. It is invariable to the output, as looping the same clip does not cause crackling to loop.

Occurs with pulseaudio on or off (even with speaker-test), and only on my Delta 1010LT sound card. Jaunty livecd plays audio without crackles, while Natty livecd produces crackles.
