[fluid vigil]

could be some kind of audio driver garbage

I'm not sure though, I've never heard or ran into this problem

Let's sees some screenshots of pavucontrol (both Configuration and Output Devices tabs) and alsamixer

And always good to check layer one, they are plugged in all the way and there's nothing schmutzing up the port?

[rare prairie]

here you go homie

[cosmic stag]

Advanced there probably just has a delay offset. Okay. How about the configuration tab

[rare prairie]

How do I get there?

:P

[cosmic stag]

and for kicks, have you tried adjusting that speaker column in alsamixer?

and do you hear any indicator tones when you adjust the volume in the output devices tab? Are your applications individually turned down in the Playback tab?

[rare prairie]

here's the configuration

[cosmic stag]

k

[rare prairie]

a lot of options when i click profile

[rare prairie]

here's the playback

[cosmic stag]

any bubble-pops or other sound when you adjust the volume in Output Devices?

[rare prairie]

when i turn the volume all the way up, yeah i can hear. but it's super distorted

[cosmic stag]

These headphones worked on THIS laptop before?

[rare prairie]

Oh man, looks like people are making custom configs for this. It does seem to come up on samsung laptops.
