I can confirm that I'm have the same distortion problem when I try the
Analog Stereo 5.1 and 4.1 surround sound settings. I haven't been able
to get it to go away completely when adjusting the settings and volume,
but those adjustments do determine how bad it is.
When listening to music in Rhythmbox, It also sounds like the volume of
the right speakers is fluctuating up and down about once per second or
less, regardless of the codec (I tried mp3, flac, and wma).
When watching an HD video in Totem Movie Player, it sounds like the
audio is switching back and forth between the left and right speakers or
like an echo.
I haven't noticed any of these problems when it is set to Analog Stereo
Duplex
I just upgraded to Karmic today.
My surround sound worked great in Jaunty. Now it's completely useless.
