Hello, I'm writing because I suffer from intermittent cackling noise on my X-Fi Surround USB 5.1 sound card. I've found that it's long known[1]. I found that I can fix the noise by disabling realtime sceduling. So I my daemon.conf looks like this: cat ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf default-sample-rate = 48000 alternate-sample-rate = 44100 default-sample-format = s16le realtime-scheduling = no Does that ring a bell to anyone? And what are expected drawbacks from disabling this? Best gerards. [1]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1051665
