As of today (Karmic 9.10 AMD64 with backports and pre-relase enabled), I still have this issue (sound skipps / stutters every few seconds) with vlc only and no other player.
I tried version 1.0.2-1ubuntu2 as well as version 1.0.3 (ppa), I tried OSS, alsa, pulseaudio modes. It actually sounds as if the videos were corrupt. But of course, the videos aren't and it doesn't occur with any other player (totem, mplayer...). I have an ICH10 family audio board. Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller Sound works OK in all other apps (except in audacious 2 : I had to select alsa instead of pulseaudio, otherwise some plugins were misbehaving, but this is probably an audacious 2 bug). What may I do to help fix this issue ? -- Please install and use the pulseaudio output plugin by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402018 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
