[Bug 787772] Re: Major sound distortion, random
There is a new upstream skype version available (4.2.0.13) that could address this problem. Can anybody affected by it, try it, and report if it improves the situation?

Editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and setting default-fragment-size-msec to 5, from 10, seems to reduce the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787772 Title: Major sound distortion, random To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/787772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm the same behavior in Fedora 17/18, Skype 4.1.0.20, i.e. opening pavucontrol fixes the problem which reappears after closing pavucontrol. Another interesting thing is that even if I open pavucontrol, it takes some time until the problem goes away (first 2-3 playbacks still have crackles). It only concerns the skype system sounds, the voice quality is OK on both sides. So, it's not an ubuntu problem but Linux/PulseAudio/Skype in general. ** Also affects: skype (Fedora) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787772 Title: Major sound distortion, random To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/787772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm facing audio distortion problems on Raring 64 bit. On ubuntu login, when Skype starts, skype login sound has major crackles in the sound. This continues for all audio playback within skype thereafter. Work around: Sound distortion problem goes away when pavucontrol is run and the volume changed from their. Problem comes back again on next ubuntu login. ** Changed in: skype (Ubuntu) Status: Expired = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787772 Title: Major sound distortion, random To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/787772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 787772] Re: Major sound distortion, random
Further update. The crackly sound comes back after pavucontrol is quit. After experimenting it seems that the distortion only goes away when pavucontrol is running *and* has displayed the playback tab. Opening pavucontrol in itself doesn't solve the problem, you have to click on the playback tab. The normal system sound controls under the sound notification icon do not make the problem go away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787772 Title: Major sound distortion, random To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/787772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
