- 3Just had this popping problem, uninstalled pulseaudio and now everything sounds fine (playing from multiple sources works great as well). Alsa driver 4.4.0-104, utils 1.1.0klogd– klogd2018-03-22 11:37:25 +00:00Commented Mar 22, 2018 at 11:37
- 3WTaF. Then why do distros still enable the pulseaudio multiplexing daemon? It is laggy, buggy AF and has been the culprit behind too many sound problems! I disable the daemon rather than uninstalling the entire package, since there are dependencies with ALSA configuration, which the package does seem to do well.Birkensox– Birkensox2019-01-01 00:37:36 +00:00Commented Jan 1, 2019 at 0:37
- 1@DominicCerisano the issue is possibly that various applications need pulseaudio libraries, so it's not entirely up to the distros. Firefox had ALSA support disabled completely at some point and Terraria also didn't work without it.sezanzeb– sezanzeb2020-09-06 09:46:45 +00:00Commented Sep 6, 2020 at 9:46
- 1I had this weird problem with pulse audio, basically for some reason it was changing my volume levels when i switched application. Anyway this one day it got confused about which application i was using and turned the volume to 100% and damaged a load of audio equipment. After that i uninstalled PA, and never looked back.Owl– Owl2022-04-23 02:16:05 +00:00Commented Apr 23, 2022 at 2:16
- 2@sezanzeb, given a choice between having to use PA for firefox, i'm just going to stop using firefox and find something else.Owl– Owl2022-04-23 02:24:05 +00:00Commented Apr 23, 2022 at 2:24

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
