Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Maybe this is interesting to you: Sound prolems were much worse under Intrepid; I couldnt watch a movie or listen to music: When using the mouse while playing a video, especially, when (as I _guess_) some mouseover stuff happened (like pointing onto or moving over the system monitor panel applet), the sound stopped. Often within 0.5 seconds, sometimes only after 3 seconds or so. It stopped without moving the mouse, too, but in many cases, i could listen for some minutes before the error occured. I saw some "POLLERR" in the logs. In many situations, restarting the app helped getting sound again, sometimes i needed to restart X. Rotating the compiz cube with the mouse via the key bound to "Initiate" in Rotate Cube seemed NOT to have had the same bad effects to the sound, as moving the mouse over the screen normally. Ubuntu 9.04 (the os, with which I created the report): Video playback works fine, also playing 2 vids and/or music at the same time works good. The problem seems to happen with Skype only now: When selecting pulse audio in Skype, i get it basically working, but I hear stuttering sound and my call partner only gets scrambled sounds or noise. When selecting ALSA i have good sound for a few seconds. In the last case, my call partner stopped hearing the noise completely after roughtly 10 seconds, and sound playback stopped for me another 10 seconds or so later, too. I am currently testing recording sound with the "Sound Recorder" appliction, while simultaneously playing 2 videos. So far, it seems to work properly, 3 minutes recorded successfully. Skype version: 2.0.0.72-1_i386 (should be the most current version.) installed from the .deb file downloaded from skype's web site several weeks ago. As advised by someone in #ubuntu+1, I installed the kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen/ but it didn't make any difference. As this is my first bug report, I want to apologize, if I left out anything important. Hopefully apport did include all you want to know.
