[Bug 555689] New: PulseAudio introduces long lags when recording sound or using voip applications

The bug is systematic, and can be reproduced at every recording / voip call operation, independently from the application I use. I tried the sound recorder in GNOME, ekiga and skype 2.1 beta (it includes PA support without tricks). The system is an Intel Core Duo 2.2 GHz with 4GB of RAM with Intel HDA sound card. I do not have any issue with recording / using voip (I only tried the kde krecord and skype, which does not use PA there) applications on KDE. Thanks for any help.

If so could you try the upstream default ones we ship. I will look around in the upstream pulse bugs and see if anything looks helpful. Could you try running "pulseaudio -k;pulseaudio -vv" and then run skype. Do you see any useful looking debug messages when you get the lag. Just for testing purposes what happens if you run straight alsa 1. edit /etc/pulse/client.conf and set autospawn=no 2. pulseaudio -k 3. "ALSA_CONFIG_PATH= pasuspender skype" Make sure and revert this back when done testing. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

2) Running Skype with pulseaudio -vv returns
pulseaudio -vv E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
pulse autospawns so this just means it already restarted before you ran it manually.
While running Skype, no messages were shown.
yeah - see above comment - this instance exited because there was already one running. lets get the latency information. when you are having the delay could you run "pacmd list-sink-inputs" and paste the current and requested latency information. Also it would probably be helpful to update to the latest 0.9.21 version as it fixes several known bugs. You can grab it from multimedia:libs. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
