I've been experiencing this for a few weeks now. It got noticeably worse when I upgraded to 13.10 ... I can sit here and watch on the Pavucontrol and watch both the output and input jump back and forth from (analog > headphones) or (Line-in > rear-mic > front-mic) Funnily enough I no longer have a front mic or front headset because it died long ago and I've been too consumed with other things to replace it.
I've downgraded to 13.04 again, in the attempt to once again fix the frustrating occurrence that it goes out in the middle of Skype calls or music or an important appointment call, I broke my entire set up and had to do a fresh install, so not sure if I'm going to go up to Saucy just yet. I can get it to the point that it no longer hiccups and spits sound at me all the time, (just sometimes), through searching out fixes (still fairly fresh to Linux even though have been playing with it for a couple years) I'm curious though as to why its gotten a mind of its own? I too have a Realtek ALC888 with an Nvidia GeForce 610 GT that has HDMI audio controller though I don't use it, Alsa and PulseAudio seem to think I want to even though it's not hooked up. Pulse audio keeps turning it on even though I turn it off in the profile. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248405 Title: [DL-H61MXEL, Realtek ALC888, Green Line Out, Rear] Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1248405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
