Some more information: upgrading ALSA to 1.0.20 and Pulse to 0.9.15 didn't help with this issue. The only thing that seemed to make a difference were the "PCI latency" settings in my BIOS: higher values seemed to make the issue appear at a higher frequency; lower values seemed to improve - but not fix - the situation. (I tried 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 255, default is 32).
My final solution was to pop in an old SBLive! 5.1 card I happened to have lying around. This fixed the dropout issue completely (but caused different problems which cause Pulse to die completely every few minutes). I don't think this issue is connected to the specific TV (I have a Sony W4000), as I have confirmed HDMI audio to work correctly with different hardware/software combinations. -- HDMI audio cuts out intermittently while normal audio plays fine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397269 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
