Created attachment 357967 [details] pulseaudio messages Description of problem: When I play music files or CDs, after a short while pulseaudio consumes +80% of CPU and the music plays at a much faster rate (like someone has hit the fast forward button). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All latest F11 updates applied as of today. How reproducible: Play some music, say Rhythmbox and after a few seconds, the above happens. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot system 2. play music files or a music CD via rhythmbox. 3. Actual results: Music appears to go in fast forward mode and CPU util goes through the roof. Expected results: Able to play music. Additional info: See attached from /var/log/messages. After searching the www, I came across this work-a-round which allows me to listen to music at normal speed :) and is reasonably stable. diff default.pa.orig default.pa.good 53c53 < load-module module-hal-detect --- > load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 Another 'feature' with rythmbox, is that if I skip to the next song, the volume of sound either decreases or ends up muted. I hope this info means something to you and you are able to help. Many thanks.
