Ugly sound on Gutsy

[Matheus Petronillio Hernandes]

I have an Abit NF7-S Motherboard with a nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler integrated sound card (that uses the snd_intel8x0 driver) and 5.1 speakers. In Feisty, the sound was fine, but after upgrading to Gutsy, when I play a file on Totem or on Rhythmbox, I get an ugly and annoying sound with repeating delays and cuts in the music.

I have a .asoundrc file in my home with this content:

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "surround51"
    slave.channels 6
    route_policy duplicate
}

If I remove the .asoundrc file from my home, Rythmbox and Totem can play the sound files the right way. Another thing is that when I play the same files using other players like mpg123 or xine, everything is OK. And if I change totem-gstreamer to totem-xine, totem plays the files the right way also.

So, I think is something related to gstreamer. I tested MP3, WAV and OGG files.

It unfortunately appears that this bug is not yet resolved. Does this issue still exist in the Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS release? If so, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Alpha2 is also scheduled for release today. It will appear at the following when available: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha2 . It contains the actively developed 2.6.26 Ubuntu kernel. It would be great if you could test this upcoming release via a LiveCD and verify if the issue still exists. If so, please include the appropriate debugging information as outlined at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems . Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Everything works great in Hardy. It seems that the bug was somehow corrected.

Setting to Fix Released, since it seems to be fixed in Hardy according to Matheus.

linux-source-2.6.22 kernel task.
