Update to the latest ALSA drivers:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
apt update
apt install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms

I would n't recommend doing this until a new release is out though. It fixed the crackling sound and incorrect speaker channels that I had but the latest version today has stopped the sound working entirely so I have removed for now

I couldnt wait so I did some more digging and found out that a kernel update fixes the issue.
Used the following site to walk me thorugh the steps, but can confirm kernel 3.12.6 fixes all audio issues and works fine when upgraded from the default frodo 12.2 release.
