To get the PulseAudio log, follow these steps: 1. Disable automatic starting of PulseAudio. If your distro uses systemd's socket activation to start PulseAudio, run systemctl --user --now mask pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket If your distro doesn't do that, put "autospawn = no" to ~/.config/pulse/client.conf. 2. Stop pulseaudio with "killall pulseaudio" (the previous systemctl command might have stopped it already, though). 3. Start pulseaudio in a terminal with verbose logging and timestamps: pulseaudio -vv --log-time 4. Let it run until you encounter the crackling again. As soon as the crackling starts, quickly switch to the terminal where pulseaudio is running and press enter a few times to add empty lines marking the spot where crackling started. 5. Stop pulseaudio with ctrl-c. 6. Save the part of the log that preceded the empty lines that you added. A minute worth of logging should be enough. 7. To return things back to normal, run systemctl --user unmask pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket if you masked the service before. And remove the "autospawn = no" line from client.conf if you added it there.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
