Hi,

I’m experimenting with the sound library and can’t get any examples to play cleanly. There is more or less constant grinding crackling chopping noise mixed with the sine waves that I try to make.

This occurs with all the oscillator examples.

I am running Processing 3.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks,  
B
