Did you try mpg123 -o pulse? I remember that noise under Ubuntu when using pulse via alsa. Using pulse directly worked. As the mpg123 alsa output works fine with standalone alsa, I suppose the alsa-pulse binding is buggy.
One could build mpg123 with a changed order of default output modules, so that pulse is tried before alsa. But that might start a pulse daemon where none is wanted. One could drop that alsa plugin that relays to pulse ... mpg123 would skip alsa if there is no default device available. One could fix that alsa plugin ... but then, it's still ugly that mpg123 plays via alsa to pulse that again talks to alsa (kernel) ...when at least mpg123 could talk to pulse directly. Well, I guess audio on Linux is messy. How's OSS4 doing these days? ;-) Alrighty then, Thomas unterwegs ohne Signatur -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mpg123 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585926 Title: mp3 files decode as crackly noise Status in mpg123 package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: MP3 files have started decoding as crackly noise instead of the intended sound (typically, music). Occasionally but not reliably, the crackly noise becomes music, as though it were a mere synchronisation error and mpg123 finds a sync signal. (I have no reason to believe that that is happening at a technical level, I offer it as an analogy for the occasional behaviour I've noticed.) While it's possible that this is only files on my disk that are corrupted, this would suggest that my backups have been similarly corrupted, so that hypothesis seems less likely.
