Hello guys,
well, as the topic already says, I'm having problems with pulseaudio combined with an ALC883 hd audio card
on a Clevo-M570RU. I got occassional hiccups and hangs and pulseaudio rewinds.
For some strange reason I can't kill pulseaudio without having it restart immediatley in the
current version of archlinux, but I can tell that prior versions showed that the wakeup timer of the pulseaudio
was increased steadily after buffer underruns occured.
Its quite rare that buffer underruns occur in which cases pulseaudio triggers a replay of the lost samples (resulting in a hiccup)
but I can trigger it about every 30-2mins secs with running flash in fullscreen (happens way less in normal window size mode).
Sometimes the general setup seems to be unstable, resulting in hiccups every like 10 secs, with increasing "severity".
So far I tried everything possible to fix this issue without any success so far. Maybe one of you guys has an insight into this.
So far I can only tell, that flash in fullscreen and also normal video playback in vlc (with VDPAU or without, fullscreen worse) trigger this issue way more often.
So chances are, this is triggered by the NVIDIA drivers, but the problem with that is, that I really need those for development work.
Also note that e.g. Ubuntu 9.04 did not trigger such an issue - maybe they had an workaround and didn't push it upstream (as usual).
