Today's experiment - try it with Kubuntu. I still get noise floor calibration timeout messages.
However, I have listened to 10 songs or so now and no skipping. Also no alsa messages in the log. Watching latencytop run, I still see the big latencies for "Scheduler: waiting for cpu" from time to time (317ms just now; three refreshes later with nothing greater than 50ms, there was just a 266ms). But no skipping/stuttering, and still no error messages in dmesg. David, if you're still watching... above you mention trying a different kernel. Is this just a matter of using Synaptic to get a different kernel from the repos (like the rt kernel)? Or is there more to it than that? Is there any way to try it without pulseaudio to see if the problem appears to go away? -- Wireless blocks USB-Audio, leading to dropouts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579117 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
