Hi, I've just upgraded to karmic and, while I had perfect sound in dosbox 0.73 on Jaunty, now I have crackling sound with the same dosbox 0.73.
I tried different libsdl outputs and I found out that libsdl-pulseaudio is actually way better for me than libsdl-esd. Esd output is more crackled and has much more latency. I also tried removing pulseaudio completely and using libsdl-alsa, but the result is very similar to using libsdl-pulseaudio with pulseaudio running. So I guess we have two problems here: 1) libsdl-esd is broken in comparison to libsdl-pulseaudio (bad sound quality and high latency). 2) dosbox sound is somewhat broken on karmic, independently from pulseaudio ou sdl. I also did some tests unrelated to dosbox: I tried running sdlmame on the same computer (the common point being SDL, of course). If I try a CPU-intensive game, I can have the exact same problem with crackling sound, but I don't see much difference between libsdl-pulseaudio and libsdl-esd. I also tried Odd (http://happypenguin.org/show?Odd), a game using SDL, and I get perfect sound with libsdl-pulseaudio, but crackling sound with linsdl-esd. PS: Sorry if some information is unrelated to this bug, but I have the feeling that maybe all the problems described are somewhat related... -- Sound is stuttering using libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio and alsa packages. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429373 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
