Not just the startup-sound. XMMS, amaroK and so on, have the same problem. It seems that each somg is plit into hundreds of pieces. Rather than playing them in rapid succession, every 1/10 of a second is played 5-6 times, before moving on to another. It's not really echoing. It's stuttering.
>From Wikipedia: Stuttering (known as stammering in the United Kingdom, sometimes misspelled studdering ) is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases; and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the stutterer is unable to produce sounds. And that's a perfect definition of my problem. I could record a sound clip of my *attempt* on playing a song, if your'e interested. Everything else works. This happened after the upgrade. No error messages. But the startup takes a while longer, i think. It's like the splash screen hangs for some seconds, and the icons make me wait for them before they appear. When the computer finally is started, I can surf, write and so on. But no music or sound. -- Sound echoes, after upgrade. https://launchpad.net/bugs/54988 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
