I get this same thing with FF and Amarok. I'm running them via Xubuntu installed over Ubuntu 8.10 on an Athlon 1.1G with 768MB & GeForce2 GTS (ie quite old); though yesterday was using KDE4 and had same problem. I find that even if I renice FF to 1 (slightly lower than normal priority) and Amarok to -4 (high priority), using "sudo top", even then I get the sound jumps. I thought it was FF and not X that spikes, but it looks like it could be a race condition between X and FF - they have about the same CPU use for me and could well be battling for resources (ie CPU time). FF and X both spike to 30%+ on scrolling, even with smooth scrolling off.
I'd have thought there was enough buffering for this not to have effect but clearly not. -- Scrolling Firefox interrupts Rhythmbox audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
