Public bug reported: Since upgrading to Maverick on a new Asus UL30A I've had problems with sound crackling and glitching roughly every 2 minutes or so. Running the system on battery increases the frequency of the problem, so that it happens maybe once every 30 seconds or so. I see the same behaviour regardless of the app playing back audio - it happens with local music, streamed music (via flash websites), videos, etc. I've tried a number of things to track this down, including running the 2.6.37rc2 kernel from the mainline ppa and installing packages from the ubuntu-audio-devs ppa, but nothing seems to help.
One thing that I have noticed which might help track this down is that I regularly use the padevchooser app to stream music from the UL30A laptop across to a desktop system, and even when doing this I get the same glitchy audio playback. This would seem to suggest to me that the problem doesn't lie in the alsa driver, but rather in pulseaudio or somewhere else in the maverick software stack.
