Title:
Audio skips (buffer underruns) intermittently but particularly when
screen blanks
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Audio playback via ALSA (snd_intel_hda) & pulseaudio inevitably
'skips' (repeats buffer content) intermittently a few times each hour,
and severely whenever the screen is blanked for inactivity.
CPU load is low (mostly idle).
I didn't have this problem with my previous fresh installation of
Ubuntu (14.04.3 LTS) on this hardware.
From dmesg, kernel appears to be using the TSC clocksource:
[ 3.180127] clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc
Upon startup, Pulseaudio sees high resolution timers:
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Fresh high-resolution timers available! Bon appetit!
When audio skips, alsa-sink.c logs a massive scheduling delay (e.g.
1070.00 ms > 15.99 ms) and also that "snd_pcm_avail() returned a value
that is exceptionally large: 623124 bytes (1177 ms)"
Currently running Ubuntu 15.10 Wily (fresh install).
