[Solved] Disturbing Noise with KDE Pulsaudio

Hi,

got problems with the sound when playing multimedia files. After every boot of the system there is a very loud irritating noise when playing some sound. In Alsamixer Muting and Unmuting of Master and Speaker let the problem vanish. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

thanks,
napterk

Re: [Solved] Disturbing Noise with KDE Pulsaudio

I have this same issue, but it does not occur all the time and seems random. It started to happen after an update some considerable period of time ago.

Have tried everything that is described in the troubleshot section of PulseAudio wiki page but still could not solve it.

A strange fact is that closing chromium when it's open makes the sound return to normal.

I have no idea of what is causing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Earlier: speech-dispatcher did (still doing ?) made some irritating noise: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=222567

@Rog131, thanks, seems to have helped.

So, I've removed  speech-dispatcher and apparently the problem is solved. Since this occurs only randomly, I won't mark this solved yet.
