How to fix Pulseaudio and Skype crappy sound
glitches, choppy sound and crackling on Debian GNU / Linux
I've experienced plenty of problems with Pulseaudio and Skype
output sound hell crappy. This stupid proprietary program Skype is
a total crap ... Anyways again thanks to ArchLinux's wiki, I've
used the two mentioned steps to fix all this Skype in / out
problems ...
1. Fix problems with Glitches, voice skips and crackling In
file
/etc/pulse/default.pa its necessery to substitute the
line;
load-module module-udev-detect
with
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
2. Resolve Choppy sound in (Pulseaudio) -> Skype
In
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf two lines has to be also
substituted:
; default-sample-rate = 44100
Should become;
default-sample-rate = 48000
3. Change /etc/default/pulseaudio to allow dynamic module
loading
It is a good idea to the default settings from
DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING=1 to
DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING=0 . This step is not required and
I'm not sure if it has some influence on solving sound in / out
problems with Skype but I believe it can be helpful in some
cases..
So in
/etc/default/pulseaudio Substitute:
DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING=1
to;
DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING=0
4. Restart PulseAudio server
After the line is changed and substituted a restart of PulseAudio
is required. For PulseAudio server restart a gnome session logout
is necessery. Just LogOff logged Gnome user and issue cmd:
debian:~# pkill pulseaudio
This will kill any left pulseaudio server previous instances.
