I have a problem that is baffling me. When ever audio is paused or muted I get few seconds of peaceful silence until my speakers start to output static. I resume audio and the static is gone until i dare to pause/mute the audio. Rinse and repeat.
What makes this a mystery is that I can prevent this static by opening sound preferences and selecting input-tab
If I select any other tab from the sound preferences, or close it, the static resumes after few seconds.The audio comes from motherboards analog audio output, where I connect 3.5 audio jack. This jack is then connected to RCA cables via a adapter and those carry the sound into my stereo systems video input.
Is there any more information I can provide? Have you heard about this before?
Here are few information gathering commands with results
