Alsa stutters with usb sound card on music and test

[Rolf Paloheimo]

I have 2 sound cards on a system I am using for home theater, ubuntu recogniszes
both and the sleection mechanism seems to work well. I switched from ESD to
ALSA since when playing movies with ESD the sound did not sync. The problem is
that with ALSA music when playing flacs, mp3s or oggs - stutters. There is gaps
in the music.

Thanks for your bug report. Which version of Ubuntu do you use? Which players
did you try? Are the symptoms always the same?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Your bug lacks information we would need to investigate further. We are now going to close the bug - please reopen if you have more information at hand.

It seems fixed in Dapper,

In Breezy, it was all gstreamer applications that had problems with sound, I have a Maudio Audiophile 24/96 soundcard and a motherboard with SIS chipset sound builtin.

I found a hack in the forums (which worked) - to give a custom setup to gstreamer

open Multimedia System Selector, choose Custom as output and type below:

alsasink device=plug:dmix period-size=1024
