Would be good to see what happens if you could record audio (with
arecord would be sufficient), just to see whether the same problem
exists in the other direction.

Either record an externally generated sine tone and open the resulting
wave file in an editor. With the amount of artefacts you describe, they
should easily be visible.

Another option is to play back any kind of recorded audio thru an audio
device that does not show the problem (some internal, onboard device?).


Thanks,
Daniel
