I'm running an older linux (I think it's ubuntu 14.? or something ... I
could check if it makes a difference) on a laptop as a karaoke box. Really
simple: Select a song and play it out though the built-in audio to an amp
(well, a bit more complex since the file is a midi and it's played via
timidity).
I find that the start of every song presents some distortion for about a
second. I'm assuming that it has to do with the audio port being opened or
initialized.
Any thoughts on this?

Hey hey Bob,
I just made sure and tested it with Timidity here. No such distortion. My Timidity uses
JACK as its default output. Could it be your playback arrangement? I remember having
similar issues with a pair of dynamic headphones, which could adjust incoming volume. If
the incoming material was too loud, after a bit of silence, it would distort for a
second.
Have you checked the issue with other sound sources? Some multimedia player? Or have you
connected another playback device than your laptop to your amp? -- Granted perhaps stupid
questions, but sometimes odd things do happen.

Thanks! Spend some time looking at this and figured it out. My program was
setting an output port using -O.... (don't recall exactly and I just lost
what I had). Anyway, took that out and it works just fine now.
