-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For a long time, I have noticed that the sound intermittently drops out for a few seconds, since pulseaudio became standard with openSUSE. This seems to be triggered by other events, such as moving files especially with Digikam, but also with Krusader or Dolphin. Fetching mail with Thunderbird sometimes does it, and sometimes it just happens - - presumably a 'behind the scenes' housekeeping job interferes). My current setup is: openSUSE 12.3 KDE 4.11.4 Music playback through mpd Skype 4.2.0.11 The soundcard is MCP51 High Definition Audio and is integrated on the motherboard. The processor is 2.5GHz quad core, with 8GB RAM. Graphics output is through an nVidia GeForce 9600GT card driven by the proprietary nVidia drivers. I finally decided to nail this, and carefully worked through the advice on these two pages: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Perfe... http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Desktops/KDE/ Most of my setup appeared to be correct. My mpd.conf contains the following: audio_output { type "pulse" name "My MPD Pulse Output" server "localhost" # optional sink "alsa_output" # optional } and I added ~/.asoundrc, which consists of: pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } Has anyone else experienced similar problems with pulseaudio, and if so, do you have any recommended tweaks?
