From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Epiphany/1.4.4 Description of problem: When switching applications or loading pages in firefox and playing music the sound crackles. Does not matter what app is playing the music (ogg123, rhythmbox, RealPlayer, xmms, totem-xine). Happens whenever a new page is rendered in firefox, when changing the fonts in gnome-font-properties, testing the sound in system-config-soundcard, and to a lesser extent other programs. Happens rarely in epiphany but often in galeon and plain mozilla. Sound works correctly in FC2 and in Windows. Sounds are turned off and the default output is alsasink. Happens in gnome but not xfce. System is up to date as of Nov. 17 (including the xorg rpms released on that date). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Firefox and a music program must both be running. 2.Open any link in firefox (or press the home button). Actual Results: As soon as firefox begins to load the page the sound begins to crackle. While firefox is loading the page the sound output is unstable. Expected Results: Sound should not be affected by firefox opening a non-multimedia webpage. Additional info: Hardware: Proc: Athlon 1.2ghz Mem: 256mb Soundcard: SB 128 (alsa: Ensoniq ens-1371) While firefox is not the only application that causes the sound to crackle it is the one I use most often and it reliably makes the sound crackle.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
