I am fairly certain it is not a system load issue --- I have 4 cpu's and 8MB ram, and I have observed using system monitor when the problem occurs and I can see no indication of any other process using resources at the time of the "skips".
It is also highly unlikely to be a pulseaudio issue, because the problem does not occur with the other music players. I did not use rhythmbox prior to Jaunty, so I do not know if this is a problem as of a new version of Gnome or Ubuntu with no change in rhythmbox. For all I know this problem could exist with earlier version of either Gnome or Rhythmbox. I could take the time to try different combinations of versions of rhythmbox & ubuntu. I am quite new to this. Can you point me to information on how to obtain and install earlier releases of rhythmbox? (I'm sure I can figure it out on my own, but any links to information that will speed up the process would be appreciated). Also, I have looked more closely at the discussion in the Gnome bug report I linked above -- I now think that it may be the same or related bug to this one. I will comment there and provide a link to this bug. -- rhythmbox sound "skips" or cust out randomly for fraction of second https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480430 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
