I recently started seriously trying to use Ubuntu Linux on my main computer. It’s been a fun experience so far, however there have been some glitches. For example, while getting the proprietory codecs to work right wasn’t that hard, there was a definite static when playing most mp3 files.

To fix this I had to do the following:
1. Go into System - Preferences - Sound
2. Change the Sound Events to ‘ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture’ (Be sure to hit ‘Test’ to make sure)
3. Change the Music and Movies to ‘ESD - Enlightened Sound Daemon’ (Be sure to hit ‘Test’ to make sure)

Restart your music player of choice, and everything should be better.
