Re: [opensuse] amaroK sound glitches
Hi,
well, I don't download from those P2P networks... all my music comes from original CDs :-P
No, by now I only use xine, which has been performing perfectly some days ago on the desktop at work... that one is a Pentium dual-core with 4 GB RAM... I guess it's more that enough to play music... :-)
Again, as for the engine... I almost can foresee that helix won't help me out either because, as I said, I can play files or streams perfectly using MPlayer, for example... Anyway, I'll give it a try...
I'll keep you posted.

Hi all,
for some reason I still haven't sorted out amaroK has started to put an annoying glitch while playing from any source (sound file, streams, CD/DVD...). It only lasts like 1 ms but it's disgusting...
I tried with some other players such as MPlayer or Exaile and they just work smoothly... so it must be an amaroK issue.
Stop downloading those h4xx0red filez from Napster/Limewire/Audiogalaxy.... :P
I also reinstalled amaroK and the xine library but the problem still remains...
The amaroK-related packages installed on my OpenSuSE 10.2:
amarok-1.4.5-101.guru.suse102 amarok-xine-1.4.5-101.guru.suse102 libxine1-1.1.6-0.pm.0
Have you tried the same with other engines - helix for example? Also, what is your processor and memory? I've got Clan of Xymox playing right now on 1.4.5 with the same versions of xine. It has been playing a list continually since about 6:00 this morning (four hours) without a noticeable glitch.

So it just started a few days ago? That IS odd. You mentioned you use SMART. Can you take a look at what you recently upgraded? I haven't done a SMART update in about a week, so I'm not sure what's currently available. Also, just out of curiosity, are you using any effects in Amarok? For example, fading between tracks.

Showoff! :P Now, I've got RAM envy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually, for me Helix works just fine. I'm pretty sure my problem (just cutouts in a playing CD) are due to "only" 1gb of RAM and amaroK trying to do too much with too little. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.
