I have my doubts that this is a pulseaudio problem. If I kill pulseaudio and play sound with alsaplayer, I get exactly the same effect. Also, when I run pulseaudio manually, I see things like this:
E: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! E: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_cs46xx'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. E: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. W: ratelimit.c: 20 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 38 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 43 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 42 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 35 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 35 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 41 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 39 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 42 events suppressed So I'm thinking this should be reported to ALSA, but I don't know the package name or how to do that. It would be tragic, though, if all cs46xx cards produced such horrible noises on the released version of Karmic when they didn't on Jaunty. -- pulseaudio crackle/distortion with cs46xx on latest update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428619 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
