Static noise when playing sound
From time to time I get a lot of static noise when playing sound. It stops when no sound is played (e.g. when music playback is stopped).
- Seems to be independent from output device (same symptons with either my speakers or headphones)
- When stopping sound, the static noise lingers for just a tiny bit. It doesn’t stop immediately
- Unplugging my speakers and then plugging them in again amplifies the symptoms.
- Opening the
alsamixerGUI in the terminal and making sure that the levels are not in the red area makes things a bit better, but doesn’t solve this issue
Lastly, for what I can tell, this happens at completely random times. And it goes away just like that. I tried rebooting several times, no luck. At some point in the future it will be just fine.
So I have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on and how to fix it.

For what it’s worth, running the following seems to fix the issue:
pulseaudio -k
As to why, I have no idea.

I was having the same issue on a dual boot system. Previously pulseaudio -k can temporarily solve the problem once it occurs.
This time it occurs immediately on boot and restarting pulseaudio does not help. Rebooting multiple times into ubuntu does not solve the issue either.
For me, the problem disappear after booting once into windows then boot back to ubuntu...
