After a hard drive failed whilst running XP, I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 on an 8 GB thumb drive and followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne to get everything set up. Afterward, everything worked beautifully. Til today, for whatever reason, without changing anything, my sound decided to stop working and instead make a horrible crackling sound. I refrenced the documentation I mentioned before, thinking I mayve missed something and I found this line
"If you experience crackling sound after rebooting, insert the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
blacklist snd_pcsp"
After checking /etc/modprobe./blacklist, I found out I had done everything properly and inserted that line yet for whatever reason I still got no audio aside from the crackling.
Finally I went to System > Sound and set all the playback options to OSS, which for whatever reason seemed to work for a while before going back to the crackling sound. A reboot fixes it temporarily but after a few minutes the audio will disappear again.
I've tried everything I know how to, and followed all the instructions in documentation correctly, so I'm hoping someone else can figure out a permanent fix to this, as rebooting every 2 - 3 songs/youtube videos/skype calls isnt convienent. Thanks.:KS
