Several instances of pulseaudio on MSI GS65 running Ubuntu 18.04












0















After a recent update I noticed I was getting crackling noises and poor audio quality from my headphones and laptop speakers on MSI GS65 running Ubuntu 18.04. Previously, I had to do some tinkering with hdajackretask to get the headphone jack to work after installing Ubuntu on this machine. This new issue, however, has removed any saved setting in hdajackretask, especially 'Set model=auto' or any override settings I had saved.



After a bit Googling, I found I have a similar issue of several instances of pulseaudio running (the similar issues offered no solution).



Plugging



ps x | grep pulseaudio


in the terminal gives me:



1822 ?        S<l    0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
4111 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep pulseaudio


I am thinking this has to do with Intel audio drivers or potentially a permission issue, but I am unsure what to do next. Side note (unsure if important): the NVIDIA drivers work with no issue and the HDMI port does not detect external monitors which I think is another Intel drivers issue.
