Daniel, I'm sorry, but kernel 2.6.24-17-generic does not help with PulseAudio stuttering (although some applications appear more resistant to stuttering than others).
For example (using the default pulse settings): totem (gstreamer, using pulse) will never stutter under CPU load. VLC using pulse will produce pops and slight stutters regularly, even when the system is idle. Pidgin's notification sounds have very noticeable pops, and Skype (OSS version using padsp) will stutter badly. The only way I have alleviated stuttering is via tweaks to the fragment settings, although it is still possible to notice slight stutters under high CPU load. I do believe the -17 kernel has helped somewhat, but there is still a problem with the default buffering. -- 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
