Thread: [HOWTO] Fix "popping" sound in 11.04 Natty

since installed natty recently, had "popping" sound speakers when laptop running on battery. turns out popping has power-saving feature "hda-intel" sound-chips.

if you're experiencing same thing, here how fix it:

open terminal , do:

code:

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/intel-audio-powersave

find line:

intel_audio_powersave=${intel_audio_powersave:-true}

, comment out putting "#" in front of this:

# intel_audio_powersave=${intel_audio_powersave:-true}

below line make new line, this:

intel_audio_powersave=false

have:

# intel_audio_powersave=${intel_audio_powersave:-true}
intel_audio_powersave=false

save file (file > save) , exit.

reboot computer.

popping sound gone.


note: if reason need undo setting, open file again , remove "#" from:

intel_audio_powersave=${intel_audio_powersave:-true}

, delete line:

intel_audio_powersave=false

save file.

reboot.
