I confirm this problem. It's present when the pulseaudio process is running in the background. If I kill it (killall pulseaudio) then vlc audio is playing ok too. If I restart the pulseaudio process (e.g through Alt-F2) the glitches/distorsion returns.
Checking e.g the system login sound under System > Preferences > Sound is destorted as well. But some or more clicks on the arrow sometimes give a complete or almost complete sound. This to me indicate that sort of a priority, sync or buffer problem could be the cause. Vlc first tries to synchronize but after a few seconds it starts to throw away what comes in with no sound at all as a result. I've tested Totem, Rhytmbox and MPlayer which plays ok. -- vlc/gnome-sound-recorder sound has glitchs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295519 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
