I have this issue on a fresh install of 12.10 AMD 64. Sound was bad from VLC launch.
Like others, this choppiness would eventually go away on it own (see #59) and come back some time later. I could also fix the problem with a pause and then unpause. Moving the mouse (#55) also "seemed" to fix the problem quite often. I moved VLC from default audio to ALSA and this got rid of the static / echo / choppiness. There was much rejoicing. However, I then picked up problem #60. This is a somewhat acceptable solution - I usually just use the menu "playback" -> "jump backwards" to fix the problem as this gives a more precise amount of replay and I never encounter the bad audio. I tried the famous fix #23 and it made things worse. VLC would start with no sound for about 20 seconds. Moving the slider to a new point resulted in the same no audio problem. I backed that out right away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751265 Title: pulseaudio distorts VLC audio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/751265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
