After upgrade to 10.10 pidgin sounds became annoyingly distorted so i had to turn them of. Any ideas on how to fix?

This is too vague of a question to be objectively answered here. For extended support on items please try the Ubuntu Forums or via IRC. You may also want to search LaunchPad to see if this has already been reported as a bug. – Marco Ceppi♦ Oct 10 '10 at 16:07

It might be that your volume settings are outputting too high. Try opening up your volume controls, turn down the output volume a bit (menu system->preferences->sound), and then use your hardware knobs to turn it to the volume you want. A lot of the time distortion comes from the input to your amplifier being to high, which causes "clipping."

Nope, all other sounds are ok. There might be something wrong with the lib (or whatever) pidgin is using for sound. – realcnbs Oct 10 '10 at 13:47
