Spotify, freetube, youtube website, either it’s a streaming issue or an audio playback issue. Whenever my cpu is working too hard audio playback stutters and delays making it unlistenable. Actually some games have alright audio so I think it’s a streaming issue. Anyway I want to know how to prioritise sound streaming or playback cpu in linux?
You must log in or register to comment.
Audio from low priority processes is expected to stutter under high CPU load. I experience this a lot when playing music while compiling programs.
Run pw-top while you’re having the issue and post the output.
It’s probably a bad default setting that’s setting the buffer/quantum incorrectly.
Did you/your distro set up realtime ulimits correctly such that pw can acquire rt priority?
