Looping sound in Ubuntu follow up

I've been working on this issue for I think a month now and the problem is very intermittent. I even thought of changing my OS to Linux Mint 4.0 just to check if it will resolve my issue. I found numerous suggestions online and tried them.

The last thing that I did try, I think solved the problem but I'm still not sure.

What to do:

1. Go to the Administration > Software Sorces then choose Update and make sure that unsupported updates (gutsy) is checked.
2. Then open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install linux-backports-module-generic

I think the reason is because after doing this Ubuntu will download the necessary third party driver for the sound card which in my case is a sound blaster.


Will monitor my computer first for a few weeks and if the problem doesn't come back then I would assume it solved it!
