Audio became garbled after installing latest update

Open funkyyyyyy opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hi all,

I recently installed the latest updates and since then, the audio became significantly more noisy. Below are the details of my setup and problem:

Model: QUAWKS Firmware: MrChromebox Installation method: ISO Problem Description:

  • Audio became garbled with lots of noise after running latest GalliumOS Update

Looking for how to fix this problem. Thank you in advance.

There have been no GalliumOS updates which would cause this. Try force-reinstalling the baytrail package: sudo apt install --reinstall galliumos-baytrail.

Ran the command. Still garbled. Especially on the bass side.

Edit: Checked my upgrade history: pulseaudio packages were updated recently when i ran gallium os update tool. maybe this caused the issue?

Hm, try stepping the mixer volume down a bit in alsamixer. Bay Trail audio doesn't like to be loud. :(

Yea. Did that. Its really tinny though. weird that it only started recently. before the update, it was brilliant.
