Pulseaudio & tsched=0,random whitenoise since change to HDMI audio out

Hi all
I had a fully working mythtv box with pulseaudio. Some time ago, I remember I had to add tsched=0 to /etc/pulse/default.pa like in the following line
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
because I had random white noise when skipping sections in music/video. I used analog out of my Creative Labs SB Live! at the time. Now I have a Nvidia GT 520 with HDMI out, connected it and changed some settings in alsamixer, pavucontrol as well as mythtv in order to have audio out through hdmi to my TV and it worked.
But since then I have again those random white noise issues. I start watching a recording and when I skip for 30sek it might still play normal, but randomly and with very high probability like every third or second time I skip again there is no sound anymore, but a very strong noise blasting out of my TV speakers. It is nearly unbearable, so loud.
So basically it is the same thing I could earlier work around with the tsched=0 parameter, but after searching hours in google I could not find anything better/else than setting this parameter which I already have since very long time.
Does someone have an idea where to start searching for the culprit?
TIA

Ok, so I have had some time to devote to this. Since this was a a new install of Arch I decided to just reinstall again to wipe out anything that I might have added to cause further compication to the solution. I am sure I am missing something obvious as aplay shows the card:
$ aplay -l

My Alsa-info output is here:
www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=04cdccbef389c4663f9db42d4d4a754321bf3fc3
I have tried numerous howtos, tutorials and posts to attempt to solve this issue, but no luck. Here are a couple of them:
http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthr … ?t=1565479
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HO … ,_or_GT240
     A couple of things worth noting:
All four channels are Mmuted (MM) each time I boot within alsamixer. There are no sliders on the four channels. They are either muted or not.
I have the HDMI input in HDMI1 on the TV, but I can move it to another if needed.
Since I am really unsure what would be needed beyond the alsa-info output I will hold off throwing irrelivant system logs and output, Please let me know what information would be helpful and I will post it.
     I would really like to get this solved, so anyone willing to give a shot at helping me solve it would be most appreciated.
TIA

  • Firefox 18.0.1 often freezes, at random times, since about 31 Jan 2013

    2 Feb 2013
    Concerns: Firefox 18.0.1 often freezes, at random times, since about 31 Jan 2013
    I am using Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1, Windows Vista, PC, Desktop.
    My Mozilla Firefox freezes since about 31 Jan 2013 at random times quite often, when I do see TV or videos, also with YouTube videos. It freezes especially when I do start TV or a Video, sometimes also it freezes when the video is running for some time. I do use Firefox mostly only for TV and videos, so else I do not see.
    Some days earlier (26 January 2013), I had installed the upgrade of the new Norton Internet Security 2013. The two Norton add-ons on for Firefox, I have both deactivated.
    I can get out of the freezing, when I do click to end the Internet connection. After I have waited for about 5 seconds, the Mozilla Firefox browser can be moved again with the cursor. After I click to close the Firefox, and wait for about 5 seconds, the freezing also does end.
    I did do two Windows restores, one to 1 week ago and the next to 2 weeks ago. After the restore, when I started Mozilla Firefox, it was at first Firefox 17. But to my very bad luck, Firefox started immediately to update to Firefox 18.0.1 I had seen this updating on Help – About Firefox. There were good times, when people could choose themselves which version of Firefox they wanted.
    After the restore, I had also downloaded the latest Adobe Flashplayer version (about version 11.5), but the freezes have remained the same.
    Is there a possility to prevent the automatic update of Firefox? So that I could choose which version of Firefox, I do want. When there is a serious bug in Firefox, I could nevertheless use Firefox instead of changing to the Internet Explorer. I know I myself am responsible to prevent hackers from entering my computer. I have read that 80% of users in Germany do not have any Internet Security against hackers at all.
    My Internet Explorer until now does not freeze.

    This is not a solution. It is a gun in the mouth. Give us specific solutions, not "throw everything away" palliatives that involve no thought, investigation or effort of any kind on Mozilla's part. 95% of the utility of FF is not FF itself, but addons. After many years of developing that context, throwing it all away to get back a rudimentary 5% is as unacceptable as it is stupid.

  • Premiere Pro random crashing since update to 2014.2

    Been working on the SAME big project over 18 months, in Pr Pro CC, 2014, working on the SAME PC:
    Win 7 SP1 pro 64bit, i7-3770K, 32GB fast memory (25.7 available for Pr), Intel HD 4000 graphics on Asus motherboard with 30" NEC Multisync screen at 2560 x 1600 (same as for years)
    42GB free on my SSD drive C: and 54GB free on my SSD drive S: for preview files, 24GB free on my SSD drive T: for caching files.  Project files etc stored on a normal hard drive F: (for Files!) 1.25TB free.
    NOW last update to 2014.2 and I get constant RANDOM crashes (Windows encountered a fault and had to close this program) despite updating graphics driver and trying different settings in preferences, use mercury etc.  No particular action causes it  - sometimes I am just watching it play a sequence and it just stops. Though of course it may be rendering the last edit at the time.
    Sometimes it runs for all of 15 mins and I think the problem has sorted then it goes again and I have to restart the project, find where I was and re-do my last edits.  If I remember to press Ctrl-S very frequently (every few seconds) it seems to run for a while then I forget for 5 mins and it crashes.
    Grrrr what did you do to the latest version, Adobe??  I need to get this project finally finished in a hurry.... I wish I had not updated the program!  Of course I cannot go back as it says the saved copy is now incompatible with earlier Pr Pro versions.
    I then tried running a previous version at the same time, as simonray suggested in his post - it worked!  So I am able to continue as normal provided I do this stupid bodge fix.
    So it really is down to Adobe as it is the same project, same PC, just different version update.  You did something to a great, stable, program that made it unstable, Adobe...
    To ANSWER RAMEEZ from previous thread:
    A variety of issues can cause PPRO to crash:
    a problem with the Preferences, or some other pref-related file in the Profile-<USERNAME> bin. >>  DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING since 1½ years running previous PrPro versions on SAME PROJECT on SAME PC
    the graphics driver  Checked for latest version - didn't stop the crashing
    third-party plug-ins - don't have any
    a problem with the cache files. I am using the same 2 x SSD I have been using for years for autosave and caching. 54GB free space / 24GB free space (current cache in place)
    a problem with the project file (if you're loading a project...)  Doesn't apply
    the Preferences files be set to read-only  How would that happen? Never happened before on any other update and I can change it.
    the user not having administrator rights  Only one user on PC since installation, full rights
    a conflict/incompatibility with some OS setting  Haven't changed anything
    a problem on the licensing/authentication side.  I'm signed up to full Adobe CC. Everything else works, Ps, Lr, Id ...
    A log file might help identify the cause of the crash. Please right-click 'My Computer', select "Manage," look under 'Event Viewer->Windows Logs->Application' to see if there's an event there from Premiere Pro. If so, copy the contents of that log and paste them here.

    Problem Solved! (with a small catch)
    While searching crashing issues I came across this thread,"Premiere Pro random crashing since update to 2014.2"
    Marc_Lec  Answered (and I paraphrase here)"...I had the same problem and this is what I did. In 'Preferences Memory'  I increased the memory reserved for other application to at least half the installed and changed the optimize render from 'performance' to 'memory."
    Thank You Marc_Lec for what has been a game changer for me since my last computer and the beginning of PremiereCC problems.
    I changed my Memory reserved for Other Applications from the default 7gigs to 1/2 of my approx.31 available Gigs = 16Gigs. Viola!
    No more crashing what-so-ever!
    I still have to purchase an older  GTX 980 graphics card to take advantage of Adobe's approved code to utilize X=Cuda Cores and GPU, but I think I'll hang onto my new TitanX, in hopes that Adobe will write code and approve it someday in the near future.
    Now why doesn't Adobe say this officially about Memory Settings? (I don't know maybe they do and I missed I somewhere)
    Mine and probably many peoples computers problems here on this board may be attributed to a simple Memory adjustment, because the computer needs more than 7Gigs to run itself, not to mention Premiere.

  • Hp photosmart plus 210. Since changing to windows 8, I no longer have the options of "no scaling".

    Hi AbbyZiva
    I understand since updating to Win8 you don't have the "no scaling" option available.
    Did you uninstall and reinstall the printer after doing the Windows upgrade?
    Here is a url for the drivers for the Photosmart Plus 200.

  • Freeze up during clip capture with random change of in and out points

    Having BIG problems capturing DV footage which began late last Fall. While performing a capture (assigned clips) footage would go down for a few seconds then would freeze (picture only, the audio continued) then after several seconds the picture would "catch up" and continue.
    Found a solution here in the FCP forum where I had my firewire drives "ignored" by SPOTLIGHT by listing them in the privacy selection. Worked and moved on.
    I have a project now where the problem has come up again. Once again during a clip capture it did what it did before - but now it ignores the assigned in point (audio but no video and almost consistently delaying it by 9 seconds into the capture) then freezes (at the assigned outpoint - sometimes) then continues to play on (audio only) then resumes (again catching up) then stops announcing a SUCCESSFUL CAPTURE. When the clip is selected to preview it plays back from the incorrect in point, freezes, then plays until the catch up - with now the audio out of sync. More craziness because now the log information now has changed: the MEDIA START & END information is not what was inputed so the DURATION TIME is now different and sometimes it adds a MARK OUT point (!?). I rarely use the CAPTURE NOW function but even trying that the footage still freezes up and goes out of sync.
    I worked the SPOTLIGHT routine again with no change. Have completely optimized my system drive and external hard drives using DISKWARRIOR 4.1
    I accept all the auto software up dates that come through UPDATER and see that I received a updated Quicktime version 7.5 on 13 June 08. I also noticed that I don't have CLASSIC OS 9 supported and seemed to have read here about something about FIREWIRE DRIVERS that maybe missing?
    Was thinking of upgrading to 10.5 to see if that helps - but unsure about my FCP version/compatability...
    So, here I sit frustrated since I have used FCP (which I LOVE) for quite a few years with great success - this is crazy! OF course, I have a project which deadline is looming!
    Any ideas?
    Much appreciation..
    Here's my computer stats:
    G4 Powerbook
    OS 10.4.11
    FCP 5.0.4
    QT 7.5
    Sony DSR-11 recorder/player
    4-Firewire Drives with 20gigs of space available

    So far have done a workaround to digitize my DV elements through iMovie. Not pretty. I string together the selected/import clips (in this case from interviews), assemble them in sequential order on the time line with small breaks of black in between, then export the timeline as DVCPRO/DV-NTSC quicktime file. Take that file into my FCP then segment out the clips on the time line, make each segment an independent clip so that I can name them. Not pretty but it works - miss having the logging data going through FCP log and capture.
    Still waiting for any other solution to my situation - thanks!

  • Since changing over to Mountain Lion I discover that I am no longer able to adjust spaces between lines. If I choose spacing of 1.3 after two lines single-spaced, the entire previous lines end up with 1.3 spacing. What am I missing?

  • Has anyone else been unable to download app updates since changing their apple id?

    I've been trying to download my app updates on my phone since changing my id (as itunes apparently required) and to no avail. I have restored my phone, changed the id on my itunes store settings and still nothing but a message saying that "and apple id for username@emailaddress has already been created", umm I KNOW!! I CREATED IT!! so yeah, slightly frustrated and wanting to throw my phone at a hard surface, help please!!

    I have this problem too. I've had it downloaded previously on my 1st Gen iPad, so it even shows up on my "Purchased Items" list, but no icon showing any option at all ie, Download, Purchase, Open.
    Is it because the current version is not compatible with the iPad 2's latest iOS? If that is the case, isn't the App store supposed to serve the last working version??

    Currently using an ASUS router to connect as when I attempted to connect after rebooting PC I couldn't get online, I had to leave the router off for a while eventually and am getting lower errors than before so would prefer not to change back at the moment.
    Since connecting to BT on the 31st the speed hasn't changed atall, I tried to leave it online for a week+ however when I checked connection info after being unable to log in tonight it had disconnected about 2 days ago.
    I might believe it's purely a line issue, however I had the full connection speed for the last 2.5 years from my previous ISP. I switched because after using 1.3gb/day or 10gb/week it would cap peak time speeds to sub-dial-up.
    Currently connected to the master socket with no other sockets in use in the house, no changes have been made anywhere else to my knowledge since changing.

    you have max conenction and a very high noise margin but in your case that is good and gives 'margin in hand' for the time your line is upgraded to 21CN

    Yes you solved your own question, use printer handles color, whcih shodul have been the default. If you do want to experiment with Photohsop manages color, try the CMYK profiles, and send a cmyk file. Only exception is if you print to one of the few RGB printers like a lambda.

  • Don't have full screen view since changing to 19 inch screen. Have about 2 inches of white space on each side. Changed to compact view and then back. No change

    I got a larger monitor and flat screen (19 inch). Since changing I am not getting a full screen view of home page. I changed the page options to compact view and then back, but no change. I've got about 2 inches of white on each side of the home page view.

    When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.
