Hello everybody.
I'm during moving from Linux to FreeBSD and most issues experienced were more or less easy to solve. Except one. Details are:
What's more interesting - such behavior is found in both Firefox and Chromium (standard or ungoogled). But Falkon and Krusader can play any video without any issues, no stuttering, smooth playing.
When I disable OSS completely, videos work perfectly in Firefox and Chromium too, but obviously without audio.
I've tried to mess with sysctl kern.sched.steal_thresh=0 or 1 setting or set "load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output fragment_size=8192" in /usr/local/etc/pulse/default.pa file (found using Google, a bit of blind shots), but it didn't work at all.
So the issue is related to "something" about media playing that differs between Falkon/Krusader and Firefox/Chromium. I tried to figure it out, but didn't find anything useful. Could you please share your thoughts? Any suggestions will be appreciated, even the most obvious ones (maybe I just miss something simple?).
Thank you in advance!
I'm during moving from Linux to FreeBSD and most issues experienced were more or less easy to solve. Except one. Details are:
- 13.5 release, AMD64, quarterly branch.
- Nvidia drivers installed from packages, not directly from Nvidia.
- Xonar D1 soundcard - not supported directly and a bit tricky to make to work. This is probably the main cause of issue described below.
- KDE installed manually, not using desktop-installer.
- Custom kernel used (just generic recompiled without sound support).
- OSS audio installed with custom driver by Alexander Polakov
