Ok, I have more information. I don't think it's a problem specifically in the audio system, but I don't know where to recategorize it.
Something is hijacking the system. I've noticed that when pulseaudio/rhythmbox stutters, my typing also lags for a split second. I think it's reasonable to conclude then that something is taking over my system for that split second and not letting anything else do anything. I don't have any background indexing going on (I disabled that to make sure) and when keeping top running in a window, I don't see anything popping up when the system stutters. To make it weirder, the problem only seems to happen when I *boot up* docked. That is, if I boot up with the computer in the docking station, I get this stuttering. If I boot up undocked, there is no problem. If I undock the computer, however, the problem persists. (I haven't been able to dock the undocked computer and have it transfer the video over to DVI properly, so I haven't tested that.) The only thing plugged into the docking station is a USB keyboard, a DVD burner, and a DVI monitor. However, a friend thought maybe it could be the USB subsystem; and the docking station does have a USB hub. How can I proceed on this ticket in getting it categorized properly? Thanks so much for your help; it appears the audio system is not the problem. -- Rhythmbox stutters with no system load at all https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330398 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
