I experience the same bug too, using Karmic AMD64 and CA0106 Soundcard (Soundblaster Audigy).
01:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster Subsystem: Creative Labs Device 100a Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19 I/O ports at 9000 [size=32] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: CA0106 Kernel modules: snd-ca0106 CPU goes up to 100% randomly when I use the card in 5.1 - it never happens when set to Stereo Output and it is also OK if I disable the lfe-upmix. Playing music via Rythmbox ore Banshee doesn't trigger it, but if I watch a 5.1 movie in totem or DVB-T via xine-sxfe it happens in about 5 to 20mins, sometimes it takes even an hour. When I switch to my onboard Realtek Sound it doesn't happen. All packages are up to date. Everything was fine in Jaunty. I experience this since I updated to Karmic (3 days before oficial release). For me it seems like this is something with the lfe-upmix option. If I can provide you with any further information let me know. -- pulseaudio takes randomly 100 % CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466957 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
