Hi everyone.
Pulse worked for me perfectly (in my old machine, and in the new one) for 2 years or so till now.
But just after the upgrade fron opensuse 11.2 to 11.3, it has started to behave strabgeky sometimes… It was a zypper dup upgrade (worked like a charm from 11.1 to 11.2!). And I dind’t touch the configuration (and was working perfectly before).
Mainly, the problems are with Virtual box and mplayer (and similar things)
With Virtualbox, it makes the sound jerky or even real noise. It seems that if I choose the alsa driver for VBox instead of pulse, (alsa goes through pulse in my system, anyway), sometimes works fine, some times not. With pulse, always fails.
And with mplayer… syncronicity problems everytime I see a film. Can work for some time, and then starts to behave erraticly, stopping the image for some time, and then going fast to catch the sound, and this kind of things…
It does not improve to choose another video driver, so, as usual, it seems the audio one.
It’s the same if I choose alsa. Bus something better (not perfect, but acceptable) if I choose esd audio driver.
For flash on firefox, it’s the same: sometimes it seems to work, and then it satrts to misbehave. You never now when it’s starting… but uses to do. And there is no way (or I don’t now it) to avoid pulse with that.
I would not like to erase pulse from my system. It worked fine before, I can’t believe it is not returning to that now. But if there is no solution for that, will have to.
¿Any idea about if are there any changes in the opensuse 11.3 pulseaudio that could be disturbing my previously working configuration?
But the way, that
load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0
can’t be a solution 'cause in the new /etc/pulse/default.pa there is no module-hal-detect, but module-udev-detect and module-detect. And with these ones, didn’t worked…
Thanks
Don’t know if it’s really important, but, there is the output of the alsa script you recommend use:
