Daniel, While I don't dispute your observation that a hardware component is involved with the distorted audio, I think that we can all agree that src-linear is the lowest-common denominator in terms of audio quality, and an alternative should be chosen. Lennart recommends against using this resampler on the PA development list; see: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio- discuss/2009-April/003490.html
You say that some users don't notice src-linear resampler artifacts on certain hardware - I would counter that these users may not have testing with their PCM volume set above ~75% (IIRC, the PCM slider is set to around 75% in a stock install of Ubuntu), as the distortion won't kick in below this threshold. Also, some reporters may be confusing "distortion" (in terms of resampler artifacts) with stuttering (buffering problems, etc.). In my case, I suffered from distortion and stuttering with a stock Karmic Alpha 1 install ;). -- Crackling / scratching noise using Pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
