My five cents: I just upgraded to Kubuntu 12.10 beta 2 AMD64 with full updates and the awful cracking/echoing noise is still present in both VLC 2.0.3 and Skype 4.0.0.8 x64. My system is AMD based with 785G chipset.
* The ¨rm ~/.pulse -rf¨ worked only for seconds until I closed and reopened VLC; no changes in Skype. * The solution at #23 solved inmediatly the cracking for both apps. On any case I'm still scared of how OLD this problem is. Come on, we are in 2012 and this thing is still chasing us five years later. I'm sure there is someone we can write an email or something to fix it FOREVER.... Regards. PD: If I find some change will post back. ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751265 Title: pulseaudio distorts VLC audio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/751265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
