[pulseaudio-discuss] Audio will stutter unless Volume Control is running
I have this strange problem where in some applications (for example Penumbra Overture or Chromium) audio will stutter unless I have the Volume Control running. I run it and the stuttering goes away, I close it and it comes back again. Any ideas? Is this a bug that should be reported? 0.9.21 on Fedora 13 Cheers, -Tako ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] Auto switching outputs
I was reading the ticket description and I can indeed say that in my case it wouldn't do the correct thing. I agree that plugging in head phones (bluetooth or not) means that you want to use them. But for HDMI I'm not so sure, at in my case it wouldn't work: I have my TV connected permanently to my computer in case I want to watch a movie, but normally the TV is switched off. So what happens if suddenly my GF wants to watch tele and switches it on? If I understand correctly pulseaudio would automatically switch over to HDMI, wouldn't it? So I'm not sure if it should depend on the type of device being connected? (maybe configurable: yes, switch on headset, no on HDMI) But I don't know if that's even possible.

[pulseaudio-discuss] ACLs for USB devices on Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze/testing
First of all, I will like to say thank you for a great piece of software. PulseAudio makes sound a mor pleasant experinence. Now to my problem. It is not with PA itself, but rather a matter of setting up my system to make things work. I have several USB devices; all from Logitech, incidently; that I want to use with my laptop. I am using Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze/testing on an i686 kernel. Before using PA I had my users in the audio group. After using PA for a while I removed all users from the audio group, and this solved all issues with user switching. I will try to reflect this in the Debian Wiki after successfully sorting out my present issue. The Debian wiki page for sound seems rather dated; it does not mention PA at all. After purging users from the audio group I am no longer able to use my USB sound devices; nether my headset nor the mic on my webcam works anymore, they simlly disappeared form the PA subsystem. The devices worked befor the purge. I have been advised that this is due to the lack of ACLs for the device nodes in /dev/snd, but I am at a loss in how to set this up in Debian. I understand that configuring the devicenodes is a task for the hotplug system together with udev and ConsoleKit, but I have little experience with setting theese up. Here are some snippets from the setup of my system: I use KDE and xine-backend for Phonon. fr...@reepicheep:~$ uname -a Linux reepicheep 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sat Jul 24 02:27:10 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux When no USB device is plugged in: fr...@reepicheep:~$ ls -l /dev/snd totalt 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 aug. 7 23:51 by-path crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 10 aug. 6 23:43 controlC0 crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 9 aug. 6 23:43 hwC0D0 crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 8 aug. 6 23:43 hwC0D1 crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 7 aug. 7 23:51 pcmC0D0c crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 6 aug. 7 23:51 pcmC0D0p crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 5 aug. 7 21:47 pcmC0D1p crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 4 aug. 6 23:43 pcmC0D2c crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 3 aug. 6 23:43 seq crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 2 aug. 6 23:43 timer After pluging in my Logitech USB headset: fr...@reepicheep:~$ ls -l /dev/snd totalt 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 aug. 7 23:57 by-id drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 aug. 7 23:57 by-path crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 10 aug. 6 23:43 controlC0 crw-rw 1 root audio 116, 13 aug. 7 23:57 controlC1 crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 9 aug. 6 23:43 hwC0D0 crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 8 aug. 6 23:43 hwC0D1 crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 7 aug. 7 23:51 pcmC0D0c crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 6 aug. 7 23:51 pcmC0D0p crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 5 aug. 7 21:47 pcmC0D1p crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 4 aug. 6 23:43 pcmC0D2c crw-rw 1 root audio 116, 12 aug. 7 23:57 pcmC1D0c crw-rw 1 root audio 116, 11 aug. 7 23:57 pcmC1D0p crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 3 aug. 6 23:43 seq crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 2 aug. 6 23:43 timer fr...@reepicheep:~$ mount |grep udev udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) I need some help in figuring out how to set this up on my system.

I run it and the stuttering goes away, I close it and it comes back again. That is probably because the volume control enforces frequent wake-ups of PA and a low buffer size - and that do for some reason make your audio applications work. If the applications uses PA correctly then it is probably a ALSA driver issue. (I have seen a similar issue with the OSS emulation in PA.) /Mads ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
