Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
*Everything* that is played through PulseAudio gains a high-pitched
ringing tone. It sounds more or less like bad AM radio, but with bass
added. I haven't a clue how to fix it so that it works properly.
PulseAudio has not worked out of the box on my system for any Ubuntu
release in which it has been present, and for the Karmic+1 cycle, it
needs to be either *actually* fixed, or removed entirely: this is
frankly getting quite ridiculous. PA is the source for a lot of bugs
that can't be properly described, cannot be adequately troubleshooted,
and it is apparently so difficult to fix that it hasn't properly worked
since it was created. I cannot pretend to understand how to fix PA
myself, and I'm a relatively technical user with a relatively basic
setup, who just wants to listen to some bloody music without having to
try to figure out how the audio subsystem is broken in *this* release.
