Title:
[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH, playback] Dock audio output has background
crackle, worse with CPU/disk/USB activity
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This machine (Thinkpad T520) is connected to a Lenovo Advanced Mini
Dock Series 3 (?), marked "type 4337". The dock has a green 3.5mm
stereo audio output on the back, which has a background crackle that
the output on the side of the laptop doesn't. The crackle is loud
enough to be noticeable, although audio can otherwise be heard
clearly, and is somewhat worse when the mouse (USB, connected to dock)
is moving, or with CPU or disk (SSD) activity.
I'm aware this may just be bad hardware design and not fixable in
software. :-)
There is a worse bug with HDMI audio output which I am about to report
separately.
