I'm getting a similar problem in Intrepid x86_64 using pulseaudio and compiz-fusion together. It is most noticeable while watching any kind of video in totem-xine, but occurs in other programs. It does not occur when compiz is inactive. It is not related to cellular interference. It is not due to lack of resources, as I get the same problem when compiz runs with no features enabled. I've tried giving compiz a nice level of 19, but either the schedule doesn't care or it isn't a scheduling problem as I suspected. Are there any matching bugs for this? I've been googling, but it's hard to piece together all the various big reports of buzzy audio. I think any reports of this should be inspected for involvement with compiz.
Other possibly contributing factors (top suspects on my system): amd64 architecture fglrx pulseaudio configuration Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 & USB audio (simultaneous output) Also, I would say the buzzing is not entirely random, although it is without pattern. Buzzes happen at nearly the same time as the last when I replay audio or video files. Games are less predictable, but it seems to me that a certain range of frequencies may buzz more often than others (can't tell you what they are though as it seems to be several different kinds of sounds) or the buzzing occurs at certain bitrates of audio more than others). A buffering problem perhaps? -- intermitten buzzing from speakers using hda-intel alsa on dell mini 9 jaunty netbook remix https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342946 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
