qwebirc62607Hey all. I just install ubuntu 11.04, and installed mythbuntu for mythtv. I've tried the shipped version, 2.4 version and 2.5 version and in each has the same problem of seeking causing audio static on occasion. It doesn't happen everytime, but most times I'll get loud static and lose the sound. Does anyone ran into this problem?04:19
qwebirc62607Wow fail english... Has anyone ran into this problem?04:20
qwebirc62607I seemed to have fixed it by forcing 48khz or something in the audio menu. I remember reading about that earlier when I was researching it. Have a good night.04:27
