[Bug 476652] Re: sound stops and begins clicking and popping
I have a ALC268 based sound card, and I also face the same audio stutter problem in various programmes such as VLC and Stepmania. Removing pulse audio, and having programmes connect to ALSA instead fixed the issue. -- sound stops and begins clicking and popping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Arroccali, that is a very interesting observation. Frankly, I have never heard of such a port before, but I can imagine how that might effect things with regards to timings. Could you please upload the dmesg output that occurs when you attach the usb dongle to the special port? It might also be interesting to see if there are any dmesg output while the clicking and popping are occuring. -- sound stops and begins clicking and popping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 476652] Re: sound stops and begins clicking and popping
I can say that I have exactly the same problem described by feroxy, using C-Media 8738. I just did a clean install yesterday of 10.04, I was using 8.04 previously (without problem), but I never upgraded before because this problem started with pulseaudio deployment and I was hoping it would get fixed. I attached my log output sound_card_1.txt from a recent failure, but it is always the same, a few seconds to minutes of playing followed by silence and the audio or video player starts to run away at high speed with no sound coming forth. ** Attachment added: "sound_card_1.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49175096/sound_card_1.txt -- sound stops and begins clicking and popping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 476652] Re: sound stops and begins clicking and popping
Doesn't seem to be any improvement with the lucid liveCD. Totem is unusable with pulseaudio enabled; after a few minutes, it just goes silent then starts speeding though the video. Had some crashy things happen too while testing all this out. gnome-volume-control died, sound died completely until I did a "alsa force-reload" and restarted pulseaudio. Generally, not very good. Again, killing pulseaudio seems to make sound "work" as it does on my 9.10 install (as far as I could tell). Got several instances of the following in the syslog, with varying values: Apr 26 01:57:54 ubuntu pulseaudio[10056]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_delay() returned a value that is exceptionally large: -715420 bytes (-4055 ms).

Hi, i think i solved my problem, kinda... basically a couple of days a go i moved my wireless mouse usb dongle from one usb port to an other. The mouse continued working great so i didn't think much about it. Now brought the dongle back were it was and i have no more audio problems. The usb port that was giving audio problems is a special one. It supports both usb and eSata. I think anyway that something is fishy. I should be able to use it as a usb port without crashing the audio. I mean Vista was able to do it so it must be possible somehow. Fortunately for me the workaround was trivial.

Hi feroxy, This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you 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 476652 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. Thanks in advance. [This is an automated message.

ok, as per #42 I tried a couple of mainline kernels on my 9.10 install, following the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds The first one I tested was the mainline build of what I currently run: Mainline kernel: 2.6.31.12 Results: no change that I could tell, same problems present. Next I tried the most current kernel (daiy build) as found at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ Specifically: linux-image-2.6.34-999-generic_2.6.34-999.201005011008_i386 Results: Well, sound seems to be fixed from what I could tell. I was able to play an entire mp3 podcast in totem, something I cannot do on my normal kernel. Same goes for video, in both totem and smplayer. Spotify was fine too. I would like to have given it a few days of testing to be absolutely certain, but unfortunately this kernel doesn't seem to work with my nvidia drivers and I'm stuck in low res mode while booted to it (any hints towards fixing this would be nice). So it looks like whatever was changed in 2.6.34 has fixed the issues with this sound chip, at least in the build that I used. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing -- sound stops and begins clicking and popping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also am having problems with my CM8738 based card since 9.10 upgrade (9.04 worked perfectly). It starts out working fine, then sound will just stop. When I really need the sound to work, I'll try a cold boot. Sometimes the pulseaudio based sound config doesn't even show the card, even though lspci does. Performing 'alsa force-reload' appears to correct the problem (even when the card refuses to show up in the Sound Preferences dialog, it will after running this).

When this happens I notice that the "pulseaudio" process starts eating all cpu time, even for a short while after I close the app I was using for playback. The problem seems worse when using Totem for playback (or perhaps more specifically Gstreamer since Miro has the same problem and it uses gstreamer too) rather than my usual SMPlayer (mplayer backend). The same problem is there in both but it typically takes longer for it to trigger in smplayer and I can usually recover in smplayer by pausing for a few seconds and doing a seek back or forwards which is not usually possible in totem or miro. - Symptoms when playing video are that the video freezes (possibly due to the aforementioned pulseaudio cpu hogging) although in smplayer sometimes picture will continue (jerkily) while sound devolves into the clicks and pops. + Symptoms when playing video are that the video freezes (possibly due to the aforementioned pulseaudio cpu hogging) although in smplayer sometimes picture will continue (jerkily) while sound devolves into the clicks and pops. In totem I notice that the play counter (elapsed time) will start racing forward very quickly, a few seconds after sound stops. I also use the application Spotify via Wine and this happens there too, but will usually recover after a few seconds of clicking and popping (the same pulseaudio process cpu spike occurs during this time). audio hardware is: 0 [CMI8738 ]: CMI8738 - C-Media CMI8738 C-Media CMI8738 (model 37) at 0xa400, irq 10 pulseaudio: - Installed: 1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4 + Installed: 1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4 I'm attaching a pulseaudio log gathered while I was watching a video in which this problem occurred. -- sound stops and begins clicking and popping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 476652] Re: sound stops and begins clicking and popping
Just an addendum: Since I filed this report, I have been running the command "pulseaudio -k" on startup with "autospawn=no" in my ~/.pulse/client.conf and this mostly makes things work provided I am using smplayer or vlc for playback (where I can set audio to alsa). Unfortunately this does leave me without a volume control applet and the standard apps wont play audio (totem, banshee, nautilus preview etc). I have found that adobe flash will sometimes kill audio for whatever reason, even with no pulseaudio loaded, but a "alsa force-reload" will bring it back in that case. And i've tested this out: If i start pulseaudio with a "pulseaudio -D", the problems are back, kill it again and it all works fine. -- sound stops and begins clicking and popping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Further to my experience above I can now add a lot more information that may help. I have added a bug report as Bug #505892 as this allowed diagnostic data to be collected from my system. Just getting this explanation posted now to explain the cross-post.

feroxy, sorry for the long delay in replying to your bug report. If you wish, we can continue to debug this issue for you, but you will have to re-install pulseaudio. If you do reinstall pulseaudio, and continue to have problems, please run the command "apport-collect -p alsa-base 476652" to help us gather additional information. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- sound stops and begins clicking and popping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

fenixk19, if you have an identical sound card, then it would be useful to post it in this bug report.

[Bug 476652] Re: sound stops and begins clicking and popping
Sounds very similar to my experience. I did an online upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic two days ago. No sound problems before but masses after. When playing video (using Kaffeine) sound would be ok for 3 to 20 minutes then disappear into clicks, followed by silence. Using 'System Setting -> Multimedia' I told the system to use the CMI8738 module rather than pulseaudio & this appeared to cure the problem, for a day. When playing games (Vendetta Online) the system degenerates into clicks after 5 - 20 seconds, shortly followed by complete silence. Possibly related, as this problem cropped up at the same time, when I try to exit the game the system locks up & I have to do a hard reset. Before the sound problem VO behaved perfectly. Now, on system startup, KDE reports that the modules have been removed leaving only pulseadio available. I tried to get more debug info but there a other problems (display settings on startup, dpkg currently unusable) confusing the issue. My hardware is:- AMD Phenom x4 CPU nVidia GeForce 8200 chipset. Added CMI8738 sound card as onboard sound was low quality. Have switched off onboard sound in the BIOS.
