Ok - for a bit of clarification, I see these problems mostly when I'm just using pulseaudio as a normal user, playing back sound on my laptop through the laptop's inbuilt speakers (or headphones). So the source & the sink are the same machine.
However - I also see them pop up when I use my laptop as a source, and the desktop pc as a sink. The desktop pc has no problems whatsoever playing back audio locally. This leads me to believe the problem is caused somewhere in the 'source' side on my laptop. Pulseaudio's daemon.conf is back to it's default settings now, but the values I've tried modifying are: default-fragments = 8 default-fragment-size-msec = 10 I changed these two settings in a whole range of combinations with values ranging from 2 up to 30. I tried pretty much every combination possible, with equal values, one high and the other low, and the opposite. Some settings made the problem worse, but no combinations made the glitches less frequent than the default 8/10 values. resample-method = speex-float-1 I tried changing this one to src-sinc-fastest to see if it was a processing power problem (i gather src-sinc-fastest is the least demanding method), but there was no noticeable change. -- [Realtek ALC269] Playback problem on Asus ul30a https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677709 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
