Bug#703869: audacious: Garbled audio using PulseAudio output on Intel 82801 AC'97

[Luís Picciochi Oliveira]

So, it appears that the workaround only worked partially.
Setting the buffer to the minimum allowed of 100ms made the popping
sounds rarer, but after some time (and a bit more attention) I started
hearing them again.

I'm investigation if this mightn't be a pulseaudio and/or driver
problem, and not related to Audacious.
Ryan: can you test the suggested workaround on this section?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Glitches.2C_skips_or_crackling

Specifically, add tsched=0 to the line
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

in /etc/pulse/default.pa .

Then try to get the audacious higher again, restart pulseaudio
(pulseaudio -k). Then start playing something on audacious and see if
you hear problems again.

Can you also confirm that the command:
$ lsmod | grep snd
Lists the module snd_hda_intel as loaded?


Best regards,
