A video with a buggy, or at least too complex soundtrack broke my Intel Ivy Bridge (i5-3337U) laptop running Ubuntu 15.10.In the middle of VLC playing the video, a shrill, slightly grating sound interrupted the soundtrack, and now it comes up at every boot.I know this is not hardware-related as:Alternate OS (KaOSx) works prefectly, even with the buggy videoThe sound follows the output, i.e. it's on laptop speakers until I connect external ones through the jack.How can I stop this !? Obviously it's driving me nuts, and the internet is full people with no sound but quiet about my issue...My guess would go with some kind of pulseaudio state being messed-up...Update - Some precisions:I am using KDE Plasma 5, with sddm (I guess) to loginThe sound starts after login, during the KDE startup scrollbar
Permanent shrill sound on ubuntu since buggy vlc video
