Comment 51 for bug 751265

Long time I have used this account. This problem happened in LinuxMint Debian Edition - the core files are from debian. This is not Ubuntu related, and upstream "trouble".

How I recieved this "crispy, fuzzy" sound:
- I have edited /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and increased fragment amount and msec. This should reduce delays in slower apps (wine).
- next, I killed pulse audio (ps aux|grep pulse; kill -15 xxx)

Immediate result is this crispy, fuzzy audio in VLC, but even in OpenArena 0.8.8.
In VLC it disappears if I increase/decrease volume, but reappears if I restart VLC, change different media or navigate.
In Openarena it disappears after 10 seconds.

This looks like a problem with buffers to me.

The solution #21
"rm -r ~/.pulse"
solved the issue.
