[Bug 778852] Re: Sound is distorted sometimes
I realize this bug is old but I can confirm it's still happening to me (Ubuntu 12.10 running on a MacBook Pro). Restarting pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k) fixes the issue... until the next time it happens :) A little annoying, but I guess it must be hard to fix do to the 'random' nature of it... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778852 Title: Sound is distorted sometimes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/778852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug may be same as mine (I'm not sure, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/796262). If it is the same, you could use my brute-force solution to deal with it until better solution is found. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778852 Title: Sound is distorted sometimes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/778852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 778852] Re: Sound is distorted sometimes
The distinctive 'feature' of my problem was that distortion appeared one some other application tried to play sound (e.g. skype when somebody logs in) along with another. And at some cases distortion could become 'permanent', i.e. be heard even when skype finished playing its sound. And as I've posted in comment #4 it looks like it was configuration issue and now sound is ok. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778852 Title: Sound is distorted sometimes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/778852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 778852] Re: Sound is distorted sometimes
Looks like that in my case the cause of the issue was an attempt to make pulseaudio control PCM volume instead if it's weird way to control both master and PCM volume. I had 'load-module module-alsa-sink control=PCM' in default.pa for this and removing it seems to solve the problem (although now I have weird behaving volume controls again). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778852 Title: Sound is distorted sometimes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have the same problem on amd64. Sometimes when pausing a totem video, all audio playing on the system will sound distorted.

[Bug 778852] Re: Sound is distorted sometimes
Is there any other information I could provide in order to help to resole the problem? It is very difficult to listen to the music when it distorts when somebody from my skype contact list enters or exists network. Looks like quite major problem to me, and definitely introduced by Natty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778852 Title: Sound is distorted sometimes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
