Ubuntu 22.04LTS - Computer makes weird high pitch sound

qa flag

So I installed Ubuntu on my system and when I am playing music after a while my speakers are making a weird high pitch sound. I tried pulseaudio -k and pulseaudio --start and the high pitch sound stops but I can hear it again after a while. (I am new to Linux)

This is the sound (Warning High Volume Sound) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FQHOHxYTnpovlLdKuVZgmfiXTa9Sg4m9/view?usp=share_link

Any suggestions?

Here is an output from journalctl -r, which has a lot of error messages from pulseaudio.

Can you see if there is any sound related error message in the output of `journalctl -r`? (you can scroll down to expand the list). Maybe you can post the output in pastebin and share it here.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
