i noticed after update this past friday that i had a high pitch sqeaking sound in the place of my sound i know after i sent a bug report to google they said they are working on a new update, has anyone else had this problem after update

Yeah, this is something that everyone has been having issues with after the update. Some people find that if you put it in standby and wake it up again it helps. Others have said turning the volume all the way up and using the software volume on media player helps as well.

Could just be a buffer issue. Eight minute video that's a heavy metal mashup of different clasical bits won't play all the way through without gorking. Same piece in mp3 locally plays fine. Sound's cut mid-stream. Also it's fixed itself mid-stream. I don't have the technical knowledge to narrow down possible contributing factors. Rebooting usually helps but I've had the thing go from a warm reboot with the bug up first thing. Only sure fire way I know to kill it, if only temporarily, is a hard reboot + battery pull.


Heard this has gotten high on google's bug-crushing list since it somehow made its' way into beta along with dev.

I can just reload the page and the noise goes away.

I can confirm the audio is fixed at least on mine.

Chrome OS on the Google Cr-48: Dev Channel Update: 0.10.146.1

my audio is just crackling. Not too loud and it can be regulated with the volume buttons. But all I hear is this crackling. Reboot doesn't help.

I just switched to Dev mode last night (Wed Jan 26 at around 8pm) and then updated - both of those issues were fixed as far as I can tell. Being snowed in last night and today from the Nor-easter, I've been watching videos and movies on Youtube, Hulu and ABC.com. None of my previous sound problems have reared their ugly heads yet.

Hulu works okay for you? It skips a lot and is nearly unwatchable for me.

My problem was fixed by updating to dev mode.
