Comment 20 for bug 574137

Thanks Daniel: As it turns out putting nohz=off and highres=off on the kernel line of the Toshiba NB305 solves two problems and causes a couple of other problems. The machine won't boot (or boots very slowly (several minutes) with nohz and highres on. The machine won't suspend and resume again with them on (important for opening and closing the lid). With them off, pulseaudio won't work and the machine runs hot with a shorter battery life. So the problem is not just with the audio.

NOTE: With nohz and highres on (the default) pulseaudio works fine! So there really is no problem with pulseaudio with the highres timers running and nohz turned on. My only problem with pulseaudio is when nohz and highres are turned off.

Did you mean for me to try the latest builds to see if pulseaudio would work with highres and nohz off??? Pulseaudio already works fine with them turned on.

When I get some time... I will try the latest builds.
