Similar issue and results here as Mladen Adamovic has. I have a ASUS H97I-PLUS: H97 chipset with ALC887-VD.
I'm running Linux Mint 17, kernel 3.13.0-24-generic (amd64) Adding the below to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf options snd-hda-intel vid=8086 pid=8ca0 snoop=0 Seemed to improve things a bit, but the popping/distortion is still very much there -- via SPDIF out. Over analog, there is no popping/distortion. However, I don't like using onboard D/A since I have a much higher quality external DAC. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1321421 Title: 8086:8ca0 Sound output distorted/unusable with Intel Z97/H97 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1321421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
