[Bug 607428] [NEW] constant crackling from built in speakers sony vaio

[uvaio]

Public bug reported:

I can hear constant crackling from built in speakers. Changing output/input device to USB headphones nor muting all devices help to stop it. When I play sound (any video or audio player) crackling intercepts the sound but only if output device is built in audio. If output device is USB headphones, sounds plays smoothly but cracking continues on built in speakers. I read and tried several option or fixes suggested by people on forums however nothing seems to help. My laptop is Sony Vaio VGN-SZ4vWN/X. Crackling is in frequency (slightly less) and randomness like it was used as telegraph machine. Although not too loud you can imagine how annoying this is. 
Thanks
