Skipping, aka stuttering & glitching!
Killing pulseaudio didn't work. in fact then I had no sound at all.
I tried:
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base
sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils
sudo dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio
To no avail.
Desparate, I was prepared to look anywhere. Even ...ahem... a Fedora site, But I saw a line of code i recognized, about editing
/etc/pulse/default.pa
Elsewhere in the Mint forum I had seen advice to:
Code: Select all
Change: load-module module-hal-detect
to:
load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0
But don't have that line. However in this case it was followed by:
Code: Select all
Change: load-module module-udev-detect
to:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
Which I do have!
This change was followed by changes to
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf:
Code: Select all
Skip down to about line 34 where it reads:
; realtime-scheduling = no
Change this to:
realtime-scheduling = yes
Skip down to about line 76 where it reads
; default-fragments = 4
; default-fragment-size-msec = 25
Change this to:
default-fragments = 8
default-fragment-size-msec = 5
Some of these settings did not need to be changed, they were already set to the recommended values.
It works! No More skipping, glitching or stuttering!
I hope that this may be helpful to someone.
