[Bug 1246092] Re: Ubuntu 13.10 upgrade: audacity sound is trashed, program highly unstable
This issue affects me too, but the workaround described in comment #21
(not #14) works for me. Here are my system details:
uname -a:
Linux Snowflake 3.19.0-30-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 22:08:41
UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
cat /etc/proc/asound/cards:

1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia

Title:
Ubuntu 13.10 upgrade: audacity sound is trashed, program highly
unstable
Status in audacity package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On playback I get a rough static that crackles corresponding to the
waveform intensity; on occasion the sound may start as noise and then
flip into proper sound output, but when paused the subsequent playback
will produce static and pausing that will crash the program. I have
tried Playback set to Alsa/pulse and Alsa/default, both give this
behaviour. When the selected sample is played as noise, the scrolling
cursor works, but appears to be scrolling by much faster than real-
time.
also, when the playback works, the scrolling cursor behaves very
strangely: the thin line may not move at all, or a segment of it may
stay put while another part of it scrolls along with the sound.
This is a fresh upgrade to 13.10 on a 64-bit Ubuntu machine, a
ZaReason Strata laptop with nvidia sound (according to alsa).
Audacity worked fine on 13.04, occasional lock ups, but Audacity is
prone to occasional lock-ups, and the sound was fine. Audio works
fine with other audio apps including youtubes, totem, vlc and sushi.
If I highlight a segment of sound in Audacity and export to disk as
mp3, sushi will play the resulting mp3 fine. The problem seems
peculiar to Audacity playback.
