GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 566468
MP3 play problem over pulseaudio
Last modified: 2009-02-09 10:17:48 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I play mp3 files on Rhythmbox or Totem the file is played well but on third second the playing is (like) paused and unpaused. If I change device on GNOME sound preferences to OSS the mp3 file is played well. If I play mp3 file on GNOME MPlayer, targeted to pulseaudio, the file is played well. This began to happen after upgrade from Fedora 9 x86_64 to Fedora 10 x86_64. Maybe the problem is the new pulseaudio that cames from new Fedora. Please contact me if more info and tests are needed. PS: this not happens to ogg files Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Rhythmbox or Totem 2. Play any mp3 file 3. Wait first seconds Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: $ lsusb . . . Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0d8c:0201 C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM6501 . . .
Unfortunelly I noticed to happen to ogg file too.
I resolved this issue changed the file '/etc/pulse/default.pa', from: . . . load-module module-hal-detect . . . To: . . . load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 . . . But I don't know if this is a workaround.
It's a work-around for PulseAudio, and a likely broken ALSA driver: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GlitchFreeAudio#Contingency_Plan
