same problem here man, so far no help and no suggestions. same audio device as well.

**kschanaman** · November 17th, 2009

I have a similar problem with my system here as well. Get static/tinny sound, low volume and severe microphone noise in Audacity, upwards of -24 dB Only way I can record off of my system to Audacity is to set pulseaudio hardware profile setting to Analog 4.1 Outpout but then can't use the microphone. When setting to Analog 4.1 Output + Analog Stereo Input, I can't record audio off the system but CAN use the microphone, with the terrible system noise. Unmuting microphone causes system sounds to sound tinny and distorted.

Vendor: nVidia Corporation
Product: MCP61 High Definition Audio
Version: a2
Width: 32 bits
Clock: 66 MHz
Capabilities: pm msi ht bus_master cap_list
Configuration: HDA Intel latency=0 maxlatency=5 mingnt=2
Resources: irq:21 memory: dfe78000-dfe7bfff

It's an IEC985 listing under gnome-alsamixer

With these problems, Ubuntu Studio isn't really anything "studio" at all. Nothing studio-quality about it.

Your problem isn't similar at all. Your sound isn't gone, your audio devices aren't missing. You are more likely to get help if you open a separate thread.

Hi,

Even for me after updating to Ubuntu 9.10 i get distorted audio.
Really Horrible!!
