Whatever program I use (for example mpg123) to listen to music, sound is output to external speakers electrically connected to a soundcard (Intel Corporation device 2284) but is rarely comprehensible and very much distorted.
The only hint I get are messages:
ALSA lib pcm.c:7843(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occured
When Linux mint is running on the same hardware, audio output (with mpg123 and other programs) works fine.
