Title:
[ATI RS690/780 HDMI] (Radeon driver) VLC audio becomes distorted
without tsched=0
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Bug #751265 describes the symptom: when VLC uses Pulseaudio for audio
output, the sound from it becomes garbled after playing for a while,
with heavy digital artefacts and echoing. Comment #23 in that report
suggests modifying /etc/pulse/default.pa so that load-module module-
udev-detect is followed by tsched=0. I've done that, and with it VLC
seems to work fine with Pulseaudio. Furthermore, in comment #30 @David
Henningsson prompted us suffering from this and with the tsched=0
workaround working to file our own reports for each specific hardware.
This is my report.
I believe apport adds data about the hardware automatically. I'll add
to that that for me this only occurs with the Radeon HDMI output;
through the analog output (via headphones) the audio works fine. As
Bug #864735 describes, Radeon audio is off by default in recent
kernels, but I've re-enabled it by passing the radeon.audio=1 kernel
commandline parameter.
If I switch to ALSA output for VLC (without tsched=0), VLC audio goes
mute after a while. After some time of silence it sort of fast
forwards itself to get up to sync with the video again. This keeps
repeating, so it's not really a workaround.
