Banshee/Guayadeque/Rhythmbox - stuttering/sped-up audio playback with pulseaudio Airplay

Using Manjaro Gnome, I’m experiencing weird playback problems when using Banshee (2.6.2-14) since (I think) the last stable update of Oct 1st 2020. When a song starts playing, there’s a mix of stuttering and sped-up playback for the first, say, ten seconds. After that, playback normalizes. Sometimes there’s a transition from too fast over too slow to normal, too.

Any ideas of what the problem could be? I don’t even know where to start looking

Banshee is discontinued (last update in 2014) so it may be unusable now. But if you want still use Banshee try rebuild package or use banshee-git. You also should look into logs.

I know, but so far it has worked just fine. Rebuilding didn’t help, banshee-git fails at building.

Which logs should I look into?

Run Banshee from terminal.

Thanks, I did that and just noticed that the problem only occurs when streaming to my old Airport Express device using pulseaudio airplay. So it might be related to this. I also have output only on the right channel when streaming. For comparison, here are the logs when playing the same five songs:

using internal speakers (no problem):

The last five entries are the only output when starting to play / skipping to the next song when the problem occurs.

Is this of any help?

Both logs are ok, so problem probably is in your airplay speakers. Check whether those speakers work with other programs and devices.

Thanks for having a look. The speakers are Ok though. No problems with Spotify and browser sound output, no stuttering, stereo works fine

EDIT: Stereo doesn’t work (left channel muted) with Spotify either if I have used Banshee before. Also in this situation I can’t kill pulseaudio (1298: operation not permitted). Upon reboot Spotify works fine again.

After today’s gconf-sharp update to v 2.24.4-7, stereo is working again with Banshee, but only after bootup when the airplay sink is set by default. When you switch to internal speakers and then back to airplay, the left channel is muted again.

Also the stuttering persists as described

I just tried other players: the stuttering also occurs with Rhythmbox and Guayadeque, including the muted left channel. Spotify still works. To sum it up:

  • after boot, stereo works if the airplay sink is set by default. After switching to internal speakers and back to airplay, the left channel is muted. This is true for all players including Spotify
  • with Banshee, Rhythmbox and Guayadeque (accessing local music files), there’s a sped-up and stuttering playback as described for the first 5-15 seconds of each track, and sometimes also when you directly jump to another part of the song. Spotify doesn’t have this problem at all
  • browser sound output always has the left channel muted (but no stuttering)

Ok, so I discovered the cause for the channel mute problem. Since the last update, the pulseaudio settings had one channel muted and I didn’t realize it. Stupid.

However, the stuttering problem persists

The issue has been solved with the Manjaro rolling update of Dec 30 2020. See here: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/-/snippets/570/raw

I couldn’t tell what caused the fix though. It might have been the switch to kernel 5.10.2-2 from 5.9, but I don’t know
