Exit causes "scratched record" effect

[samjaynes]

Thanks for reading my post. Not sure if this is a bug or isolated issue.

When exiting out of a video feed, such as hulu (over 50% of the time), the audio will continue to loop quickly like a scratched record (for those who remember those). The screen will freeze, and logging out of a Ubuntu 8.10 build still does not rectify the issue. A total restart has to be done. Very annoying, but we are in alpha so let me know what I can do to help.

After reading some threads, I have made the change from PulseAudio to ALSA on all three combo boxes. That helped on the frozen video issue, but not the symptoms of this particular situation.

I also turned created the xml advancedsetting file to turn on debug, but could not find the logs in the tmp dir. So I removed the xml file.

Any thoughts, suggestions, tips? Great product (P.S. any development on YouTube playback for us linux users?)

try removing pulse, all together:

sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
killall pulseaudio   
sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio     
sudo apt-get install esound

as for youtube, my bet is it will be fixed in the next release.

That worked... thanks.
