Hello all,
I had just purchased a new web cam and plugged it in to my Linux machine which is running Pop! OS 20.04 (based on the latest Ubuntu OS). I recorded some videos for testing, some using Cheese that was preinstalled and some using OBS Studio for Linux. When playing back the video, there is this continuous popping sound. I tried researching this and found a few items I tried.
1. sudo apt install alsa-tools
Created and save a script in /usr/local/bin:
---------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_COEF_INDEX 0x67
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_PROC_COEF 0x3000`
------------------------------------
Ran the script as root in a terminal.
2. /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Added the below line
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N
3. Emailed the Video to someone else and the same thing happens. to me, this suggests it happens on creation of the video – perhaps I’m wrong but it’s what makes sense to me at least.
4. Unplugged the headset/microphone and only used speakers.
5. Unplugged speakers and only used headset.
6. Changed 1 to 0 in /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
Changed Y to N in /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save_controller
7. in /etc/pulse/default.pa
changed load-module module-udev-detect
to load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
8. pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload
It sounds like horses galloping after this
9. Using the same webcam, created a video on a windows laptop. This worked fine so the webcam and integrated microphone seems to be fine.
10. Note that I am able to listen to anything else with no issues. It is only when playing back my own video recordings on my Linux desktop.
