A good test is Skype (OSS), available from Medibuntu as skype-static-oss (as the ALSA version is not currently compatible). Run skype using the padsp wrapper, i.e.: padsp skype
With the default settings, sound skips terribly. Using the above configuration, it doesn't skip at all on my system. I have been experimenting with different values, and it seems that having default- fragments = 5 and default-fragment-size-msec = 5 is even better for my system (Dell Inspiron 510m with STAC9750,51/ICH4). Other applications do exhibit some stutter, e.g. VLC (using pulse output) and Pidgin's notification sounds, and these stutters are drastically reduced/eliminated with the above configuration. -- Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190754 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
