Pulseaudio 5.0

[QDR06VV9]

No I didn't. I don't know if the config will work for everyone. Because it uses realtime priority, it can't work without problems for everyone. You need custom kernel with 1000Hz and PREEMPT for it to work without issues.

You know i should of thought about that.
But no issues here.
Oh and one other thing I had to change.
In /etc/pulse/default.pa, I had to change this line:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=1
to:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

This switches pulseaudio to the older scheduling mode and gets rid of the glitches.

That is exactly why I sad that you need kernel with 1000Hz and PREEMPT. With it, there are no sound glitches with "tsched=1".

I'll Bite what kernel are you using, I have tried every kernel known to man, Pusleaudio Hates my card LOL

Audigy2 [SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0353]],

Thats the only way I can can rid of about 40 to 50 seconds of skipping and popping.

You can check my howto for compiling kernel: http://forum.ubuntu-rs.org/Thread-ko...nela-na-ubuntu
It is on Serbian, but all you need is what is in the [code] part. And enable Full PREEMPT and Timer frequency=1000Hz. You can also try -lowlatency kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...14-rc6-trusty/ it has that two options enabled.

You are getting 40-50 seconds of skipping and popping when ever any sound starts playing?

Yes Sir.
The -lowlatency kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...14-rc6-trusty/ A bit buggy for me.
I will give your other option a try.
Thanks Milos_SD

No Joy
Still had to edit load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

I tell Ya It's a conspiracy from pulseaudio to demise sound-blaster cards
I really have tried everything known to man(since the arrival of pulseaudio) but the only thing that works
is tsched=0
But Hey The Improvement that I have got from PA 5.0 Is well worth it.
I can literaly pick out each instrument playing
Again Many Thanks Milos_SD

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

Instead of turning tsched off try leaving it on and changing clock-source

/bin/echo hpet >/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

Thanks zika but no joy still, the popping never went away the skipping however was gone.
There is a slight increase in quality if I do not go bonkers hearing the popping.lol
By chance do you have my same card SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0353]?
I have read every post I could find since the beginning of pulseaudio's conception they just did not have us in mind.

I have just now tried this.

It would appear That I was correct About that sound-card SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0353] not working well.
Broke out my spare tower with about the same specs [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] 3 Gigs of ram.
Sound Card Audigy2 [SB Audigy 2 [SB0240]]
And well I am dumb founded??

What I dont get is they are pretty much the same cards Just rewritten.
