Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 505004
Played music is skipping
Last modified: 2009-07-29 15:26:05 EDT
Description of problem: When I listen to rhythmbox (or totem), music is skipping. Like it has been played from the broken cd. It's a huge regression compared to Fedora 10. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586 How reproducible: always - sometimes it happens every 2-5 seconds, sometimes 2-3 times per song only - can't really see why - same song can be played with skips every 2-5 seconds, and next time it plays almost perfectly with one or two skips only. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Play some music (ogg or mp3) in rhythmbox or totem Actual results: sound is skipping Expected results: clear sound Additional info: it's so annoying that I have to start using my mp3 player to listen to the music at home :-/ hardware: Dell Latitude D620 laptop
Please provide the output of "pulseaudio -vvvv" when this happens!
Closing due to lack of response to needinfo request.
after a few updates it started to be fine, but today - wow - same skipping music again, here is an output from the command you've asked for: [marek@d620 Desktop]$ pulseaudio -vvvv D: main.c: Started as real root: no, suid root: yes I: main.c: PolicyKit refuses acquire-high-priority privilege.
