Bug Description

After upgrading to 2.6.27-9 I have no understandable sound, only noise. There is a clear relation of this noise with trying to play some sound, it has a low volume (but not extremelly low) and it is noise not a bad version of the sound I am trying to play.

Thanks all.

Do you need anything else?
Please help, using OSS is a pain. I have tested it some more and OSS works fine, alsa produces noises just the same as pulse.
Could the problem be with ALSA, in the card driver ?

I am listening, ask and I shall do.
Thanks

Are you certain that this symptom isn't caused by an ALSA mixer element control being muted and/or zeroed, e.g., 'PCM'?

You can verify by inspecting the output of `amixer -Dhw:0' in a Terminal while this noise is reproducible.
