Dave, You won't see any improvement until you enable glitch-free audio (providing that glitch-free works for your hardware) - see the recent posts by myself and Daniel. Until this is done officially, you can edit the configuration files yourself:
1. Create a copy of the configuration files to your user's pulse folder: $ cp /etc/pulse/* ~/.pulse/ 2. Edit ~/.pulse/default.pa, do a search for "tsched=0" and change to "tsched=1". 3. (Optional). Edit ~/.pulse/daemon.conf and comment the "resample- method", "default-fragments" and "default-fragments-msec" lines, like so: ; resample-method = speex-float-1 ; default-fragments = 8 ; default-fragment-size-msec = 10 This should completely eliminate stuttering, as long as your audio card doesn't trigger certain kernel bugs (see my previous comment to see a related bug). Note: be sure to delete the contents of ~/.pulse/ to revert these settings if there is a pulseaudio update, otherwise the newer configuration files in /etc/pulse will get ignored. -- Crackling / scratching noise using Pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345627 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
