I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a netbook (eee pc 1201ha, no graphics drivers yet for 11.04). When I tried playing music from my Fiio E7, I heard terrible crackling sounds mixed-in with the audio. Just to make sure it had nothing to do with the audio format, I tested FLAC, mp3, wma, youtube videos-all had the same crackling sounds.
I admit that I know very little about Ubuntu or the way PC's handle external sound cards, but my only solution is to blame this ill-performance on the crappy hardware inside my computer and ditch the USB DAC, for now. Does anyone have any ideas what the crackling sounds are? Is this problem fixable? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
