I just installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 on my laptop, which already has Windows 10 installed, so I am dual-booting.

The problem is that I am getting static noise (or white noise - not sure how you call it) when using the headphones only. The problem seems to go away when in MUTE. Everything is up to date and all drivers are working fine.

I do not have that problem when running Windows 10.

I have already tried alsamixer, but it didn't work. Switching to pulse equalizer doesn't solve the problem either.

  • Yes. Didn´t solved with the other post. – Kiddo gat Dec 17 '16 at 02:38
  • Give it some time for an answer. Don't post the same question multiple times. – TheXed Dec 17 '16 at 02:39
  • Why not? I am sorry if i am any causing trouble. ( I new to this Linux community). – Kiddo gat Dec 17 '16 at 02:46
  • Because it clutters the board and ultimately helps no one. – TheXed Dec 17 '16 at 02:47
  • oh ok i see. I am sorry. I´ll give it some then, thanks. – Kiddo gat Dec 17 '16 at 02:49
  • May you should go more in detail ... 'I've tried alsamixer' isn't very helpful. What have you done? f.ex. it is possible there are more than one soundcard in your laptop (the internal and a Nvidia?). Try cat /proc/asound/cards to see how many cards are listed. And try alsamixer -d hw:2 to configure the card with the index (first number in the list) 2 ... Then there are different levelmeter and switches. They are different from soundcard to soundcard. Which one are you using? And what is the effect? – LupusE Nov 12 '19 at 11:33

Actually I was stuck in the same question/ issue and use every solutions online. I got the white noise/static noise by installing Ubuntu 21.10 MATE on ASUS ROG G14. However by some old posts none of them solve my problem. Including editing the alsa-base:

sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

editing /etc/pulse/default.pa

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
load-module module-echo-cancel source_name=logitechsource

Applying this solution:

sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0x1b
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x4a4b
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0xf
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x74
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0x1b
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x4a4b
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0xf
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x74

In the end this noise goes away by this procedure:

  1. sudo apt purge pulseaudio* alsa-*

  2. rm -fr .config/pulse, also I do this for sure: rm -r ~/.config/tenacity/ ~/.config/smplayer/ ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/obs-studio/ ~/.config/pavucontrol.ini

  3. sudo apt install pulseaudio alsa-base

After the first reboot I confirm there is no more noise. and after second reboot the noise is avoided as well.

I highly believe it's the problem from the pulseaudio becauseI never got this problem on Windows 10, and the noise will also go into the audio-recording under linux. Also the noise show up on Fedora 35 as well. FYI.
