I believe I am affected by this bug. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. Intel 82801h audio controller and I have many dropouts. Most recently, I encountered my problem running games on Wine. After about 10 minutes the audio starts crackling and eventually drops out. If I kill pulseaudio and start it again the problem goes away. This is repeatable every time.
If I change this line in default.pa, "load-module module-udev-detect" to "load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0" I no longer get the crackling sound, but the sound eventually drops out anyway as it would have before. I will continue to try different settings to figure this out, but it would be nice if someone who knew more would get involved to get this resolved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002480 Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH, playback] Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1002480/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
