http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9871b38d99bdd4cc91e398b60eb31361eb305395the issue :

when i record with mic i get always a bad recording with some tic tic tic tic , does not matter if i use low volume for the mic i can hear them anyway...

if i use louder volume i can hear them ...

i tried with

arecord --quiet --file-type wav --rate=44100 -D plughw:Intel test.wav

with this there is less rumors

when i play with

arecord --quiet --file-type wav --rate=44100 test.wav

i got a lots of problems ... alsa (snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred

the strange thing is that on kubuntu 8.04 it was workin better ... that was my screenshot of alsamixer in the terminal
