Created attachment 128499 [details] pactl list On youtube (html5 player in SeaMonkey), when clicking a new video, I was suddenly blasted with "noise" at a VERY high volume. Muting pulseaudio, pausing the video, lowering PA volume, and resuming made the sound normal again. Then I increased the volume with no problems. This behaviour could seriously damage hearing. PA package: 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1 OS: Ubuntu studio 14.04 Device: Alesis core 1 Kernel: Linux ubuntu-studio 3.13.0-105-lowlatency #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 2 16:52:00 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux See also Bug 98863.
How often does this happen? If this isn't reproducible, I'm afraid this isn't fixable either.
It happened once. But it could be related to bug 98863, which has happened to various degrees several times.
Maybe the same: I started Spotify and clicked play, but heard no sound. I went into pa volume control and changed output from analog stereo to core 1. Now I had distorted sound. I paused and resumed, and the sound was fine.
