Does anybody know if this problem is fixed in Karmic? DRM 'manages access' in the same way that jail 'manages freedom'. On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 5:19 AM, Jay Brosius zephyrgale38-g...@yahoo.comwrote: I have this very annoying problem ever since I upgraded Intrepid to Jaunty. I use Skype a lot being overseas, so this was a major failing of the Jaunty install for me. Skype worked OK on Intrepid. Using Skype a cpu (Core2Duo) suffered a quick ramp up to 100% and 20 seconds of delay in outgoing voice as soon as a Skype call connected. Text worked OK. I tried switching from gstreamer to xine for system sound, no luck. So i have been keeping a tab open in the browser to this page for more than a month to watch developments, also to http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=306381st=40. At last, maxdata gave me the information I needed. Since Skype did not work, I had nothing to lose deleting it and reinstalling it. So I deleted Skype, added the medibuntu repository, used Synaptic Package Manager to install Skype-static-oss, then tried it out. Problem cured! Skype CPU is now 20% and sound is fast and clear. Thanks maxdata! Jaunty is running on a Toshiba Satellite U-205 notebook using Gnome. It is up to date. Perhaps Skype's reliance on the Qt library used by KDE is a problem here and including its own library static linked fixes things. -- Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay 5sec) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362203 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Skype high CPU use on 9.04 using pulse (and audio recording/sending delay 5sec) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362203 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 tried setting the kernel parameter on a Jaunty install and it _appeared_ to fix the problem but I haven't made any long calls yet (it was midnight afterall). Will feed back if it doesn't work.

I hate this bug just as much as anybody else, but let's not forget this is a _bug report_ for _pulse audio_. It's not a forum, not necessarily a discussion thread, and not using pulse audio is a solution, but not a workaround. Having said that, I am also very interested in find out if there's any real workaround, so if anybody finds one - let us have it. DRM 'manages access' in the same way that jail 'manages freedom'.

It's simply not gonna go. Pulseaudio breaks skype (and bunch of other apps) and should not be included (without _ANY_ integration testing it seems) in Ubuntu in the first place. Yes, I know, Pulse is The Right Thing and offers a bunch of great features but it breaks applications that many people need in everyday work. Most people use a very limited subset of functionality that a sound server offers - primarily software mixing and that can be achieved with plain ALSA (using dmix). As long as pulseaudio doesn't operate transparently enough for the legacy apps (yes, most of them broken and misusing ALSA, but that does change anything) to keep working, it NEEDS to be excluded from the stable Ubuntu release. So those workarounds are perfectly valid. On the side, the ONLY reason I choose Ubuntu over Debian for my laptop/desktop is the usually better support for 'everyday' apps.
