In /etc/pulse/daemon.conf Change #default-sample-rate = 44100 default-sample-rate = 48000 Restart the PC, and see if that helps. The reason behind this, is PC based sound cards prefer 48000 Hz, and pulseaudio can get confused sometimes when using 44100 Hz. Pulseaudio will resample your mp3s so that they match the 48000 Hz of the sound card. -- Gllug mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.gllug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
