Package: pulseaudio
Version: 2.0-6
Severity: important


I'm using a default installation on wheezy/gnome, set up as a laptop.

The device works fine on another system, a server with a pulseaudio
daemon process set up manually.  On the default desktop gnome setup,
however, I'm finding pulseaudio highly unreliable with a USB device,
Creative Soundblaster X-Fi HD.  Other people report similar problems.

It has worked occasionally, but usually it doesn't

Sometimes I see this error in dmesg or console:

usb_set_interface failed

and sometimes /var/log/user.log contains messages such as

  module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.

I've tried deleting ~/.pulse* and rebooting, doesn't help

I've also noticed that if I try to kill the pulseaudio process (e.g. to
try changing something in /etc/pulse/default.pa) it tries to start 5
more copies and logs a heap of errors to /var/log/user.log -  this seems
like some issue with the restart mechanism.  In any case, having it
restart automatically is quite annoying when troubleshooting.

 using this device.

 Changing the resample method from speex-float to speex-fixed resolved this 
 issue
 for me 
 (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2014-August/021375.html).

 In Jessie, speex-fixed is the default resampler on ARM, so for me, pulseaudio
 now works in its default configuration and from my point of view, this bug
 (#756850) can be closed.

Thanks for reporting back here. I'm closing the bug.

Bug#787099: pulseaudio: Output is muted when headphones/speakers are plugged in

 Dear Maintainer,

 On Jessie, at some point during the last couple of weeks, automatic
 adjustment of volume/muting when plugging in headphones (or external
 spekaers) has stopped working correctly.

 Looking in alsamixer: When headphones are plugged in, Master and
 Speaker+LO are muted, the Speaker+LO slider is set to zero, and
 Headphones remains muted.

 What I notice is that currently Headphones has no effect on the volume
 output from the jack, I need to change Speaker+LO instead, and unmute
 it and Master, and then I get sound output from the jack.

 If I unplug it and plug it in again it returns to the same muted and
 zero-volume state described above.


This looks like the same as the upstream bug
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90491

Could you please confirm that? If so, this is an alsa bug and not a pulse bug.

Bug#756850: Bug#704305: not working reliably with USB devices

2015-05-31 Thread Matthias Großmann

 I've merged in #756860 (X-fi USB not working on ARM) as the symptoms
 look exactly like those on my Intel-based laptop in this bug #704305
 
 Just upgraded the laptop to jessie and the problems are still there
 using this device.

Changing the resample method from speex-float to speex-fixed resolved this 
issue 
for me 
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2014-August/021375.html).

In Jessie, speex-fixed is the default resampler on ARM, so for me, pulseaudio 
now works in its default configuration and from my point of view, this bug 
(#756850) can be closed.

I don't think that #756850 and #704305 are the same bug. Actually, I'm also 
seeing the usb_set_interface failed message from time to time. When this 
happens, pulseaudio falls back to the dummy output. If I remember correctly, 
this happend even before I installed pulseaudio, so #704305 may actually be a 
kernel bug.

 First thanks for your time,  it helped a lot:

 What parameters are you giving to the loopback module? I see in the log:

 source=bluez_source.C4_43_8F_9F_F5_36 source_dont_move=true
 sink_input_properties=media.role=music

 Is that all?


 It was just:

 pactl load-module module-loopback source=bluez_source.C4_43_8F_9F_F5_36
 sink=alsa_output.pci-_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

 Try increasing the latency (default is 200), or disabling remixing.

 If that fails, try changing the resampler in the configuration file.

 I tried with latency-msec=2000 - same
 I tried (keeping latency-msec=2000) to add remix=false - A little bit
 better, not sure.
 I tried to set `resample-method = src-sinc-best-quality` - That's GOOD !
 I'm reverting to a default value to remix (not sure it's true) - Still good
 !
 I'm reverting to the default value of 200 for latency-msec - Still perfect

 So it's the resample-method, it was not set in my configuration, only
 commented, maybe the default ? Was:

 ; resample-method = speex-float-1

 I tried to find for you which resample-method was picked with this magical
 best-quality mode, and I found this in syslog:

 resampler.c: Support for resampler 'src-sinc-best-quality' not compiled in,
 reverting to 'auto', so I tried pulseaudio -vvv and got:

 D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c: Resampler:
 D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c:   rate 44100 - 44100 (method speex-float-1)
 D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c:   format s16le - s16le (intermediate
 float32le)
 D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c:   channels 2 - 2 (resampling 2)

 Hope that's helps ? Tell me if you need more information / debugs / logs /
 tests / whatever.

Hmm, I see in the old logs:

(   1.028|   0.000) D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c: Resampler:
(   1.028|   0.000) D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c:   rate 44100 - 25
(method peaks)
(   1.028|   0.000) D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c:   format s16le -
float32le (intermediate s16le)
(   1.028|   0.000) D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c:   channels 2 - 1
(resampling 1)

This looks wrong to me. However, I don't think I can be of more help
as my knowledge is limited in this regard. Could you please bring this
up at the upstream list or bug tracker? They will have better
understanding, and maybe a fix can be made to choose a better
resampler by default.

If you do so, please report back to this bug the link to the upstream report.
