Audio dropouts

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.

$ sudo gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Change the following settings as stated:

lock-memory = yes
realtime-scheduling = yes
realtime-priority = 10

Do not turn on High priority in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf . Do not turn on JACK unless using VLC.

Tests from older versions of Trisquel:

VGA compatible controller: only screen resolutions 640x480 (4:3), 800x600 (4:3), and 1024x768 (4:3) [p](Screen will not be detected)
