I just read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa- driver/+bug/1007783 and tried disabling Pulseaudio with Michael Lazarev's method:
touch ~/.pulse-a11y-nostart echo autospawn = no|tee -a ~/.pulse/client.conf killall pulseaudio That got me no sound at all, in smplayer, banshee, or minecraft. I will now revert that and try the bit from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PositionReporting : >If this affects your HDA Intel sound card, there are two methods the driver can read the position reports. You can test the two >different methods by editing the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file, and add either >options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008177 Title: glitchy (pulsing) sound on Alienware box, 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1008177/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
