try and see if it solves the problem, and it didn't, all it resulted is in <br>some breakage (no /etc/asound.conf, the speaker icon disappeared from the <br>notification bar, can't control the PCM volume, only Master). But anyway, <br>
I'll have to discuss that on the distro's forums for solutions, even though <br>I didn't get any answers yet.<br><br>Yesterday (after removing pulse) I've watched videos all evening without a <br>single problem, but as of today I tried to listen to some music (under VLC <br>
as cmus doesn't work after removing pulse) and the (alleged) bug resurfaced<br>again.<br><br></pre><pre class="">I tried to run "aplay -v" as that topic you linked suggests, but it returned <br>this:<br><br>

</pre><pre class="">I guess there's an alsa configuration problem, but I don't know how to fix it.<br>Here's the guide I followed for removing pulse from the distro:<br><a href="http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=23930">http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=23930</a><br>
<br></pre><pre class="">Also, the videos were mostly from YouTube that I watch through VLC (as I don't <br>like the flash player for eating all the resources and skipping a lot of <br>frames as a consequence), so the sound stream is also 44100Hz same as the <br>
music I listened to. (all of it was from CDDA)<br></pre></div>
