[Bug 879790] Re: Sound doesn't play properly after upgrade from 11.04-11.10, also affects 12.04
Running Saucy (13.10) on Lenovo X200. Experience this frequently, playing local mp3's, playing youtube videos, playing movies etc.. Audio will play normally but every 2-3 seconds it will stutter like it's playing the same audio bit twice really quick.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879790 Title: Sound doesn't play properly after upgrade from 11.04-11.10, also affects 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/879790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Seemed to have been able to clear it on mine by flashing the BIOS with the latest available. This on a T61 with ATI graphics running SuSe 11.4.

Just for the record I've tried Kubuntu 12.04.02 and the kwin_gles workaround does _not_ work for me unfortunately(T60 w/ X1400) . There are still messages like CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20113 nsec, and the wireless is very slow. This issue is very frustrating and is the first time when the open source model fails to work for me. I mean this report was filed 3 years ago, affects thousands of people, there is no good workaround and yet no one from the radeon developers seems to care.

I believe I have the same problem on my Lenove X1 Carbon with 12.10 Xubuntu. In particular, the following might be of interest: - The problem did not occur after initial installation, but after some time (could be related to updates). - The problem does not occur after initial boot. It will occur (a) after disconnecting the power supply and going to battery (b) resuming from battery. So far my workaround is a reboot, which only takes 10s on this machine. It is still very annoying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879790 Title: Sound doesn't play properly after upgrade from 11.04-11.10, also affects 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/879790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have this issue with my T60. Tha bad news is that after upgrading my distro to 12.10 unity2d - which I used for workaround - is vanished. It's a big problem that I can't use the unity environment, I have to find some other window manager variant like xubuntu or lubuntu until this problem is not solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879790 Title: Sound doesn't play properly after upgrade from 11.04-11.10, also affects 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/879790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I finally found a solution that works for me! I have T60 with Radeon x1400 and Kubuntu installed. When I use kwin_gles window manager instead of the default one (kwin), all sound problems are gone: Amarok plays without chopping even with desktop effects enabled, sound is not choppy when playing fullscreen flash videos. Quick test if it works also for you is: $ sudo apt-get install kde-window-manager-gles $ kwin_gles --replace For a more durable solution see: http://weits.blogspot.cz/2012/02/kwin- gles-as-default-window-manager-in.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879790 Title: Sound doesn't play properly after upgrade from 11.04-11.10, also affects 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/879790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 879790] Re: Sound doesn't play properly after upgrade from 11.04-11.10, also affects 12.04
The only way I've been able to get around this bug in 12.04 on my T60 (w/ Radeon x1400) is by using Unity 2D. All other session types, including Gnome (with and without effects) and ones I've installed afterwards like Cinnamon and Cairo reintroduce the gargling audio. So pretty much since day one, I've stuck with Unity 2D and it's been doing fine. However, the problem with this workaround is that they're getting rid of Unity 2D in the latest updates to 12.04. If you blindly update your Ubuntu without checking what it's doing, you will lose the option altogether. I haven't done this myself, so I don't know if this latest all-in-one version of Unity has fixed the issue, but I have no reason to believe it would. Has anyone who updated to the latest Unity had any luck? I'm not exactly rushing to see if it breaks my Ubuntu, since I wouldn't know how to undo it, and I don't have backup space for my whole install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879790 Title: Sound doesn't play properly after upgrade from 11.04-11.10, also affects 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/879790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same problem(choppy sound + wifi restarts) on my Thinkpad T60 w/ ATI x1400. There were many hpet increased min_delta_ns messages in dmesg's output and decided to try to disable HPET. Adding hpet=disable to kernel options seems to mitigate the problem to some extent - i.e. it seems to appear less frequently. After switching to 2D desktop the problem seem to disappear.
