Hmm, I hit a possibly similar problem today, after kernel upgrade. I managed to work around it this way: 1/ remove PulseAudio 2/ start VLC (using ALSA) as: vlc --aout-rate 48000
I guess PulseAudio could be kept if I could convince it to output at 48kHz instead of 44.1kHz. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780128 Title: static audio echo when playing files with vlc -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
