This confirms that sndiod woke up too late, probably because another process is using the CPU. The fraction is the portion of the buffer containing samples. For the play direction, we see that the buffer is not entierly full, but there are enough samples to continue playing smoothly. So these are just warnings, there are no underruns at sndiod level. I'd suggest you quickly check if there are underruns at firefox level: Use "-ddd" sndiod options. Whenever firefox underruns, sndiod will log: firefox0 vol=127,pst=run: xrun, pause cycle Is there a new message every time you hear a glitch? (note that certain programs just stop providing data to sndiod in order to pause, which will flood you with above messages, but it is not a problem)
