Audio problems.

[rapt0rjezuz]

Im having problems playing any type of audio, from youtube videos to audio CDs.

While trying to play youtube videos the audio and picture will fast forward randomly.

Audio off of CD's will not play properly in VLC media player or Rhythmboc, it will fastforward randomly and make glitchy sounds..

So, does anybody have any advice on how to fix this or had any similar problems?

This is interesting. Same problem - started only today.

Except I can play music that is on my HDD with Amarok or other programs like that. But I do have the same problem with flash video sites such as YouTube. The video will play, then all of a sudden, it will fastforward, make sounds like a record is being scratched, and if I try to stop it and resume, the video will play at normal speed but with no sound. This has been happening all day and with every video.

Here is the solution:
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenr...nd-workarounds

I got it working by doing su -c "yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio"
I don't know if it's bad or not but it now works perfect for me.

[Wiedzmin]

Xarver, do you by any chance know where the problem came from? It literally seemed to come out of left field. O.O

[Wiedzmin]

It seems, just uninstalling and re-installing pulseauido is sufficient. But maybe I'm missing something?

[xarver]

No idea.
I just started Fedora (not linux) a few days ago.
Maybe an update caused it?
But removing the pulseaudio plugin for alsa made a lot of apps work including Skype and videos.

Made a big difference here, thanks for the suggestion.
