I have an upgraded pulseaudio 0.9.14 (plus some selective patches). Could you try updating to this version and then testing to see if the problem still occurs. There are 2 different 0.9.14 options available, the stock mode and a glitch_free_disabled mode (glitch_free is a pulseaudio feature we are currently shipping but that causes problems with some sound drivers). Could you try the stock mode first and if you still see the problem then try the glitch_free_disabled mode. The rpms are at stock mode - http://www.gnome.org/~sreeves/openSUSE_11.1/pulse/ GF_disabled - http://www.gnome.org/~sreeves/openSUSE_11.1/pulse_GF_disabled/ You can easily upgrade from 0.9.12 to 0.9.14 with the following steps 1. sudo zypper addrepo http://www.gnome.org/~sreeves/openSUSE_11.1/pulse/ pulse_repo 2. sudo zypper refresh -f pulse_repo 3. sudo zypper up --force-resolution -r pulse_repo pulseaudio libpulse0 You can switch between the stock and GF_disabled mode by installing the respective rpms or the only difference between the stock and GF_disabled rpms is the change of the line load-module module-hal-detect to load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 in the /etc/pulse/default.pa and /etc/pulse/system.pa files Make sure after any changes you stop any playing sound to free the devices, and kill the pulseaudio daemon (pulseaudio –kill) so it will reload with the new settings. When you report any results make sure and specify what version and mode you were running.

Try killing pulseaudio, and then moving or removing ~/.pulse. Then restart pulseaudio. Alternatively, run 'pavucontrol' (or double-click the volume applet in the panel). Go to Output Devices. If two are listed, try switching which one is set to default. I haven't seen the logging problem since switching to the new packages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
