Bug ID: 414671 Summary: Lag when showing popups if event also has a sound associated with it Product: plasmashell Version: master Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: anon...@openmailbox.org CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 Created attachment 124194 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=124194&action=edit Video that shows a delayed popup and the same popup appearing immediately after the first delay. SUMMARY In KDE Plasma 5.17 (Neon User, but it also happened on 5.16 and on Manjaro) some popups, such as confirmations when moving files to trash or any informational popup related to Plasma itself, shows up with a huge delay. I figured out a few things that may help figure out the bug. Basically, the delay starts presenting itself when I change the default output device. I have a motherboard with an integrated soundcard as it is normal, but I prefer to output through my monitor via the DisplayPort or HDMI cable. If I go to ~/.config/pulse and delete everything then restart pulseaudio, popups are instantaneous again, but as soon as I set HDMI\DP as default output, they become laggy again. Also, the delay only happens for popups that have a sound associated with it. If I remove the sound, the popups appear immediately. Finally, after a delayed popup, all subsequent ones are instantaneous. But after a while, the same popup will be laggy again.
