Sound quality problems on Ubuntu 10.04

[Setzra]

Hey, having some trouble with the sound quality on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. I downloaded the Act 1 demo about a two weeks ago and it worked wonderfully. Then, a few days ago I noticed the sound got a little bit of static in it that bugged me a bit, but not too much. However, I just got a hold of the full version today, and when I started it, the music was almost all static. You could tell it was music, just horrendous quality. I started up Act I again and it sounded the same as the full version, full of static. Anyone know how I can fix this, because this is an awesome game that I'd love to get playing. Thanks.

Hey, I had the same problem.


For some reason opening firefox when it starts acting up fixes it. No idea why but it might work for you too.

You're right. What a strange fix.

Same problem here, using Debian Unstable. Opening or closing Chrome did it for me.
Could it be the Flash plugin?
