My headphones started to rattle recently. Then I opened pulse audio volume control I noticed that blue line indicating loudness of sound is always stuck at highest and it doesn't matter how much I will lower sound, it stay at highest point. It is the same with build in Realtek sound card and with creative sound card and if I enable or disable pulse equalizer. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04

  • How is sound volume set in ALSA? Run alsamixer in a terminal.

  • It is at 70, changing it doesn't help in any way

  • What, if you change user or a guest account? How is sound there?

  • You can try if removing the module-device-restore resolves your issue. It may but if not, don't change your default settings, please.

Well looks like I fix it. And all it took to delete .pulse audio in home folder and hit killall pulseaudio. There is no more rattle. You can mark as solved, in case anyone else will face similar problem and search in here.

  • Good you found your solution. That's what I suspected when asking for guest account. It is extremely weird that an issue from settings in your account should affect other accounts.
