I am experiencing this bug on 9.10 using dell vostro A840.

I can reproduce this with anything that consumes CPU. Audacious doesn't exhibit the behavior even under full CPU load. Worst (another bug?) the sound player (most probably the sound infrastructure) hangs under extreme loads, to the point of having to kill it. -- Basic graphics operations makes audio skip (>1 sec pauses) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193578 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

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu, Karmic 9.10. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . Please then run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux 193578 Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Now wait a second, the only package this bug is now open against is compiz and comment 53 (and others) pretty clearly state that it happens with metacity too. If it happens with multiple WMs, multiple media players, and with alsa and pulseaudio that pretty much means it _has_ to be something in the kernel. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- Basic graphics operations makes audio skip (>1 sec pauses) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193578 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

[Bug 193578] Re: Basic graphics operations makes audio skip (>1 sec pauses)
This issue occurs for me on a fully upgraded Jaunty (9.04) whenever I drag a window. I have effects turned completely off and have the window manager configured for "reduced_resources", which shows a dragging window as a wireframe. This on a new Core i7 920 (quad core) with 6GB of RAM, running a 1-tab firefox, a 2-tab gnome-terminal, transmission with 3 torrents with a detail window open on one, and rhythmbox playing mp3s, so I'm reasonably certain there is plenty of memory and cpu cycles to spare. The mp3 files are on a second hard drive, so there should be no IO contention with the OS (and the drive light barely flickers). I've verified that grabbing (not even moving) ANY of the window title bars will cause the audio to stop within a couple of seconds - presumably when the buffer runs out. I do not have to be scrolling or doing anything remotely cpu intensive to trigger the issue. I've also verified that the cross-fading backend workaround solves the issue for me. Possibly related, the terminal with a running `top` does not update until after I've let go of the window header. While I have not looked at the source code, the symptoms are consistent with the audio buffering being done in the graphical tool kit's main loop, which may get blocked by the presumably system modal operation of moving a window, or delayed by intensive X operations such as heavy scrolling. I would expect that one of the libraries involved then resyncs the audio to the system clock when operations resume, such as might happen on a slow machine or heavy IO, leading to skipping rather than paused audio. I would guess that the crossfading backend moves those operations to their own thread or process that does not get blocked by GUI operations. Just my hypothesis based on the GUI programming I've done in the past.

[Bug 193578] Re: Basic graphics operations makes audio skip (>1 sec pauses)
I also experience the same skipping in rhythmbox, but not so much during scrolling. The skipping is worst when I am switching between different windows, maximizing/unmaximizing windows and also switching between tabs on firefox. This skipping goes away if compiz is disabled. The crossfading workaround doesn't work for me as when playing WMA files it is CONSTANTLY skipping even without activity.

[Bug 193578] Re: Basic graphics operations makes audio skip (>1 sec pauses)
I can confirm this bug is not rhythmbox specific. I experience the same bug with exaile, though not so often. As far as I understand it, this is a firefox/compiz issue, the same high cpu scrolling issue that haunts firefox in linux for months. I managed to solve the "slow scrolling issue" in big pages (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/125970) installing the latest nvidia drivers (180) but started to experience this bug with the sound. The crossfading fix solved it for me, although scrolling on big pages still causes high cpu usage.

There has to be at least one application at fault. Unless 100% processor usage isn't a problem. I think Rythmbox makes the problem noticable because it doesn't buffer sound. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Basic graphics operations makes audio skip (>1 sec pauses) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193578 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

No, as stated before only rhythmbox is affected. Totem, Listen, VLC are fine. If I play sounds at the same time in rhythmbox and totem, totem continues to play even when rhythmbox is stopped. Also if ALSA is used instead of PulseAudio, the bug persist. Given these two reasons, I think it isn't a PulseAudo bug, but rather a Rhythmbox one. -- Basic graphics operations makes audio skip (>1 sec pauses) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193578 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
