Comment 32 for bug 280534

Thanks for the detailed notes, Daniel. Audio problems can be pretty confusing to debug and any information is helpful.

I'll file a separate bug for the missing microphone digital sensitivity control, I guess against linux-source.

Re the wine crackling issue, I tried altering /etc/pulse/daemon.conf's default-fragments to 4 and default-fragment-size-msec to 25 to match my (non-crackling) Hardy configuration, but like Catherine, I still get the crackling/stuttering sound (even after a complete reboot to be absolutely sure everything gets reset), so that doesn't seem to be the problem. Note that the crackling does go away if I reset the audio frequency to 11 kHz instead of 22 or 44 kHz via the game settings in wine.

This is with pulseaudio 0.9.10-2ubuntu10~ppa1, alsa-base 1.0.17.dfsg-2ubuntu1, and wine 1.1.7.
