You probably know this, but you didn't say, and to be sure... |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
As root, or with the appropriate capacities, right? Because regular |
| 12 |
users aren't normally allowed to decrease niceness (increase priority), |
| 13 |
only increase niceness (decrease priority). So if you were trying |
| 14 |
nice -n -20 it as a regular user (without any additional caps), it'd only |
| 15 |
schedule it at zero, which is what it would normally run at, so no |
| 16 |
difference would be expected, regardless. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Anyway, if it was working before, it's unlikely that's it, just |
| 19 |
possible. I'd guess it's a sample rate issue instead. That is, unless |
| 20 |
you tried the tickless kernel option or modified Hz, or possibly if you |
| 21 |
switched scheduler or kernel or something. Just to see, you could /try/ |
| 22 |
compiling the kernel with Hz=1000 and tickless turned off. I doubt it'll |
| 23 |
do any good, but if it does, you /know/ it's a scheduling issue. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Another just-in-case question. You aren't trying to run some fancy |
| 26 |
visualization are you? OTOH, you tried several players so I don't know |
| 27 |
how that could be it. Just trying to think of things... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
As for gstreamer itself, I never had any luck with it. Just wouldn't |
| 30 |
work for me, probably because I didn't have it configured right, but |
| 31 |
since I'm a KDE person, it wasn't a high priority to get it configured |
| 32 |
right, and I eventually just unmerged it. So I can't be of any help at |
| 33 |
all to you on that angle. Except... if it has a configurable audio |
| 34 |
buffer size, you might try increasing that. I know arts did on the KDE |
| 35 |
side, but it has been unmaintained for some time and I found it easier |
| 36 |
just to run without arts as well -- FAR FAR less trouble that way, once I |
| 37 |
figured out how to get the knotify sounds playing without it. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Hopefully these rather shots in the dark help, or someone else can... |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
It still sounds like a sample rate or similar incompatibility to me, |
| 42 |
tho. If I used the same software, I might be able to tell you what to do |
| 43 |
to change that, or if it's even possible, but I don't, so again, |
| 44 |
hopefully someone else can help you there 'cause I can't. |
