Public bug reported:

I previously had Ubuntu 11.04 installed and in working order but due to
other circumstances, I needed to perform a fresh install of the system.
Since then, my Andrea headset has been nothing but trouble and gives a
very consistent popping sound.

If I change the sound output to a different source, my mileage varies
even more.

With "Internal Audio Analog Stereo", the sound is extremely quiet even
at 150% volume (so much so that I believed it was non-existent.

With "Juniper HDMI Audio...", the sound is rushed, as though someone
where holding down a 'fast forward' button.

With "Andrea PureAudio...", the sound is a constant popping sound and I
see the mute indicator on the device flash on and off.

I would expect that each device would output audio at a better quality
than this.  As I review the output from apport, it looks like this may
be a duplicate of bug# 741825 because it does contain this:

  ATI [1002:4383] (rev 40)

Within that report, one of the users was asked to file a separate report
and then have that separate report reviewed for confirmation of a
duplicate.  My apologies if I have made extra work for someone by doing
the same.

I have previously followed the detailed walk-through provided by the
Ubuntu community for this issue.

Please let me know if there is any further information I can provide.
