[h2]Audio dropouts[/h2]
[p]Audio dropouts cause crackling noise from time to time, especially with Chromium scrollbar movement. Such dropouts do not occur with Intel HD Graphic and AMD + vesa driver. The dropouts of VLC can be alleviated by passing the audio via JACK. System-wide dropouts can be alleviated by changing Pulseaudio settings, stated below.[/p]
[code]
$ sudo gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
[/code]
[p]Change the following settings as stated:[/p] settings:[/p]
[code]
; lock-memory = yes
; realtime-scheduling = yes
; realtime-priority = 5
[/code]

realtime-scheduling = yes
realtime-priority = 10
[/code]
[p]Do not turn on High priority in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf . Do not turn on JACK unless using VLC.[/p]
