Mint13 Mate 64bit: Video too fast or jerky - SOLVED!

[rustleg]

Any Youtube video I play in Firefox runs at approx 5 times normal speed.

Also try running the video here at the BBC, this is jerky, showing quick staccato movement interspersed by short freezes.

And no sound from either.

AHA!! Sound was the problem. I played Banshee and found no sound there either. So I fiddled with sound in control centre and when I chose a different output device the sound appeared. This then made all the videos play properly.

I was going to delete this post but then I decided to leave it here so others with the same issue can check this out.

Hey, thank you for posting this. I just installed LM13 with cinnamon and had a similar problem. Switched from RS880 HDMI [Radeon HD 4200 Series] to built in Audio Analog Stereo OUTPUT and all is well. interesting!!??

Almost the same hardware as mine, which was set to "RV710/730 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4000 series] Digital Stereo (HDMI)" and I switched to Built-in Audio Analogue Stereo.

Thanks for leaving this thread here.

Thankfully, I didn't have to do too much research and found this resolution.

I believe the trend here is that if you have a vIdeo card with HDMI out, Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon) will by default choose the HDMI Audio out as the default audio device.
Not sure if this is intended or not.

I had no sound but video...I switched to internel analog audio and sound worked then video started the ultra fast play issue.


Any Lenovo users out there can chime in on what their current settings are ?

TIA,

I have Cinammon, 32 bit, and have this problem too. The only option that I have in sound settings, output, is Built-In Audio Analog Stereo, and online videos are still too fast or jerky. Not just that: music on google play is jerky too, and games in flash are too. Can't solve this problem... Any idea?

Thanks!

NOTE
(This is what worked for me, i hope this works for you too)

Today i have install fresh version of linux mint. And everything went well but when I watch the you tube video or any other video site it went too fast also with no sound.
After a bit messing around I found the solution of this problem
Go to your system - Preference - Sound
Now select the analog stereo for the audio output.

I am having this issue as well, when playing video/sound from my laptop on the TV through hdmi it plays really fast. Switching sound to analog makes it play normally but the laptop speakers are weak and not really viable if I am trying to watch a movie on the big TV. Is there an actual fix for this like a codec or driver issue that can be implemented? Or am I stuck with this workaround?
