Long time I have used this account. This problem happened in LinuxMint Debian Edition - the core files are from debian. This is not Ubuntu related, and upstream "trouble".
How I recieved this "crispy, fuzzy" sound: - I have edited /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and increased fragment amount and msec. This should reduce delays in slower apps (wine). - next, I killed pulse audio (ps aux|grep pulse; kill -15 xxx) Immediate result is this crispy, fuzzy audio in VLC, but even in OpenArena 0.8.8. In VLC it disappears if I increase/decrease volume, but reappears if I restart VLC, change different media or navigate. In Openarena it disappears after 10 seconds. This looks like a problem with buffers to me. The solution #21 "rm -r ~/.pulse" solved the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751265 Title: pulseaudio distorts VLC audio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/751265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
