So, when I clicked the 'Test' button the first time, it blanked for a longer time before coming back on, but after that, it flickered very shortly.
Also, assuming that the problem is related to this feature, I think that then it would blank out every time any alerts came in. However, it blanks out only for the first time and then if I repeatedly cause that sound to be played, then the flickering doesn't happen. I think this has something to do with the sound drivers messing with my display somewhere. I'm really not aware of how Ubuntu (or any Linux for that matter) manages video and audio, and I hope to learn more, but I'm a hundred per cent sure that if I cause any sound to be played, even unpause a YouTube video after more than about a minute of silence, it blanks out for me. That's definitely not something that triggers a visual alert right? Please help me, I just want a seamless and perfect Linux experience for myself and anyone else using Linux on an HP Pavilion laptop. I intended to move away from Windows as soon as possible, but I've been unable to do so on this new laptop ever since I've bought it (18.04 didn't install properly, 19.10 had battery and graphics issues (Intel graphics wasn't detected), and now 20.04 development version is causing display problems again...) ** Attachment added: "Flicker-Bug.mp4" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1869549/+attachment/5344736/+files/Flicker-Bug.mp4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869549 Title: [nvidia] Whenever a sound needs to be played the screen blanks out To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1869549/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
