As I understand it (and I may be wrong so please put me right if I am) the problem is caused by the "glitch-free" mode of pulseaudio. In order for "glitch-free" to work properly a responsive kernel is needed, i.e. latency in the order of a few milliseconds. In order to get this the kernel needs to be compiled with pre-empt enabled and HZ=1000.
As I understand it Debian does not compile its stock kernels with these settings. So we need to turn off "glitch-free" and go back to the way PA used to do its processing. This can be done by editing: /etc/pulse/default.pa Find the line like this: load-module module-udev-detect and append "tsched=0" to the end so that it looks like this: load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 Re-start your PC and see if this helps. -- Geoff _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
