Youtube volume crackles

Post by Julien_Skrobek »

Hello,

I'm running Sylvia 18.3

I noticed crackles when I moved the sound, on vlc but also in youtube.

I changed the audio outuput of vlc to ALSA and the crackles stopped.

However, the crackles remain on YouTube. Only when I touch the volume, the rest of the time it pays fine.

I can live with this but I'd much rather solce this problem. Can you help me ?

Cheers

What about the browser you use? Try with a different one. I never had this problem with Chromium.

It's not really a browser problem since the OP was using VLC as .

However, since the problem was largely solved by switching the VLC audio output to ALSA, it's probably a pulseaudio problem. You can't switch the audio output of any browsers I know of to ALSA though.

I don't have much experience with pulseaudio issues myself but I'm sure others here do. There's not nearly enough system info there though. Copy/paste these separately to the terminal and copy/paste the text output here:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/cards

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/modules
