I do not know much about ubuntu/linux, but I have been trying things blindly for awhile and will only add what has not already been said. I get huge variations in the quality of sound when I adjust the hardware profile under sound preferences. The changes range from no sound, to very tinny sound, to crashing audio on the system, to crackling, to machine gun, and on. All with different profiles. Today, after updating alsa and messing with the profiles some more, I managed to play one song on vlc with absolutely no audio problems. When I closed the audio player and played a different song, it was back to the regular problems and I haven't been able to replicate a good play again. I don't know what that means, but it seems strange as hell. hope that helps someone who knows whats going on.
