Cannot reproduce anymore. I opened VLC, Preferences, changed Audio Output module from ALSA to Pulseaudio, and sound files play just fine. I have 1.1.9-1ubuntu1.3.

Hi, I have this problem, too. In short, selecting PulseAudio from the Audio Preferences gives me scratchy, static-y, awful sound. Selecting Alsa gives me normal sound.

What *I* see is most likely a kernel driver bug. I don't know if we're seeing the same bug or two different bugs with similar symptoms though. Could you try this? Add this line to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf (you will need sudo): default-sample-rate = 48000 Save the file, and restart PulseAudio: # pulseaudio -k Then run VLC as: # vlc --aout-rate 48000 ** Changed in: vlc (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780128 Title: static audio echo when playing files with vlc -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hmm, I hit a possibly similar problem today, after kernel upgrade. I managed to work around it this way: 1/ remove PulseAudio 2/ start VLC (using ALSA) as: vlc --aout-rate 48000 I guess PulseAudio could be kept if I could convince it to output at 48kHz instead of 44.1kHz. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780128 Title: static audio echo when playing files with vlc -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 780128] Re: static audio echo when playing files with vlc
I am similarly affected. VLC after default install is completely unusable due to the audio distortion and echo effect.

[Bug 780128] Re: static audio echo when playing files with vlc
A little more information: Switching to 'Alsa audio' does indeed fix the audio problem, but only until I closed and restarted VLC. After that I hear nothing at all. Switching back to 'Default' or 'Pulseaudio audio output' brings things back to normal upon the next re-start of VLC.

I'm affected by it as well, ever since i upgraded from 10.10. Sometimes it just goes away when i simply open then close the Ubuntu sound preferences dialog.
