Bug Description
Binary package hint: vlc
Since update to Natty, vlc plays with extreme noise.
What works:
* visual part of video-playing with vlc
* sound & video with other players like totem, mplayer, rhythmbox
What does not:
* audio part of video-playing with vlc
* playing soundfiles with vlc
In the latter cases, vlc plays the file (everything ok in GUI), while the audio is identifiable, but hardly comprehensible through the noise. I've tested the issue with a number of files in different audio/video formats.

I have a similar problem.
Workaround (worked for me): try switching audio output module to alsa.
