Has anyone else experienced similar problems with pulseaudio, and if so, do you have any recommended tweaks?
Bob,
I have seen exactly what you are talking about in both opensuse and archlinux when using pulse. Either sound intermittently drops out, or sound events are delayed by several seconds at times (i.e. you shade a window and a few seconds later here the sound) I have tried about every pulse tweak you can think of, but I haven't found any that "fixed" the problem. I would welcome others thoughts on the issue as well.
David, Nice to hear from you again. Since my original post I have been all round the houses with this one. I disabled pulseaudio and tried to get things working with just alsa. mplayer on the command line worked, but I couldn't get mpd working, so I went back to PA. I changed the soundcard from a Soundblaster Live 24bit to the built in sound hardware, but that was worse, both in terms of quality and dropouts. Now I'm more or less back to the original setup. My music is stored on a 2 x 1TB RAID1 partition, I use mpd via gmpc to play the music through Phonon, Gstreamer, PA, alsa and whatever else there is layered in there. See http://www.tuxradar.com/content/how-it-works-linux-audio-explained. As you are the first to respond, it would seem no one else on the list has this problem, or no one knows the answer. - -- Bob Williams System: Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop Distro: openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.11.4 Uptime: 00:00am up 4:37, 4 users, load average: 0.87, 0.38, 0.28 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlLAAfcACgkQ0Sr7eZJrmU5SxwCfcQDGNYADyVmhXvd0iFZIH/82 UGIAnidyL/pD0xmcAkeT6C2CYdyI5d7v =Z+p9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
