Public bug reported: Binary package hint: alsa-base
When I listen to music using for example Amarok (xine engine), and I do something processor intensive (such as scrolling some complex web page in Firefox), the sound starts to break (I hear pops and clicks - probably because of empty buffers in alsa), and if it continues for a long time (longer than a minute or so), the sound locks (repeats the same buffer) until I stop all applications using alsa. It happens with any application using ALSA with or without dmix. I'm using: alsa-base and alsautils 1.0.14.1 (from beta release) linux 2.6.22-12-generic Sound card is: 00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 02) - 1274:5880 And my motherboard is with VIA KT133 chipset. It is happening only in Gutsy with this alsa version. In Feisty, with updated kernel 2.6.22-11-generic and alsa 1.0.13 everything works like it should. ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gutsy alsa ens1371: blocks when system is on load https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
