I need to VLC to browse thru a lot of video files, but the audio Stuttering seriously when i increase the speed of playing (to save time), it only occurs when using usb headphone; it is fine on built in speaker.
What is the problem ? how to fix it ?
Thanks

Welcome to Manjaro!
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which exact CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time
I have 3 computer, each using different manjaro kernel … hence i can’t put those detail in profile, else it will mislead people instead.

Kernel 5.12 is EOL so please install both 5.4 and 5.10 LTS (Long Time Support) and see which one of the two troubles you least.
Just put “Multiple systems” somewhere in there otherwise people will keep nagging for you to update it…
I have restarted the laptop… and the audio stutter issue is no longer exist… .
It will come back again some time in the future… Because it happened a few times before (but i have no time to bother it last time)…
Is there any command or something you can recommend me to try when the stutter issue reappear ? else we will never able to catch the issue…
I just purposely tried the same usb hdd that i was used to do video speed browsing… but now, it is totally fine no matter how fast i play it.
This tends to be a common trend for you in various threads across the internet. I would recommend first restarting your laptop prior to making a help thread. It will save a lot of unnecessary time and bandwidth
Yes. Please revert to this post: VLC audio Stuttering when using usb headphone but it is fine on built in speaker. KDE plasma - #2 by Fabby
Again, this happens to you A LOT. Please restart your computer more often. You will fix the overwhelming majority of your problems.
Why you think restart computer will solve this problem ? What causes that to happen ? There must be some reason why restart computer will solve the problem isn’t it ?
If i have a car that having problem on the run way, and the instruction is “to restart the car which will solve most of the problem” and am i suppose to drive on after restart ? Surely not, i will drive to car garage the first time after start (if it still drive able)…
Thing happen surely for a reason (or 2)… can’t just say restart for everything and expect thing to be fine… That’s no way to fix a problem. Expect restart and problem solved is just like universal solution to fixing tv…
Oh ya… i forgot to inform Fabby that i have all other kernel installed. But since i restarted laptop , i can’t duplicate it… there is no point of trying out other kernel.
$ pacman -Q | grep linux
linux510 5.10.53-1
linux510-headers 5.10.53-1
linux512 5.12.19-1
linux512-headers 5.12.19-1
linux54 5.4.135-1
linux54-headers 5.4.135-1
This is not a solution,but can you try another video player like SMPlayer?, try increase the speed of playing as well and see if the problem happens there.
Because that is what solved your last problem? (You forgot to restart before asking a question?)
Ya, but usually the problem that fixed by restart always return… which mean the problem is there… just randomly appear…
It is quite impossible for me when encounter a problem : the first thing todo is restart the computer…
If i restart the computer; the problem might be gone… when it is gone, how can i ever able to troubleshoot if the problem is gone… that’s why i never want to restart computer when i faced with a trouble.
It is just sometime it dragged on for too long… i have to restart computer because i need to switch to windows os to do work… otherwise, i rather not restarting until the issue is solved.
I have never able to do real work so far with linux… lol sad… i pick up so slowly. luckily i can switch hdd between linux and win7…
Fabby, you are always seems to be a happy person. lol…
That’s an issue, not a problem. A problem is a recurring issue.
If the solution to your issue was your own answer to restart the computer and you then accept that answer as the solution, in the end, no one is going to help you any more
So: If you have an issue:
If restart the computer, the issue is gone… than before 3 days it is back again… do i have to restart computer and wait for 3 days ? that will be no ending…
I always do research on google… just sometime the keyword is not right… sometime can’t figure out what word to search for… hence cant find the result…
I have spend God know how many hours on google to look thru reddit and other forums… Hence my issue never got fix… just drag on… forever.
Yes! Because it might be gone forever as well and issue was because of a cosmic ray that hit the RAX register of your I7 because of a nova 1 million years ago.
Use:
See your post here:
There is. The problem would likely be logged in your journal. The real problem is you likely have a non-replicatable issue. It’s “random” and happens every few days for no reason and a reboot seems to fix it. . . it’s nearly impossible anyone will be able to help you fix it, and it takes 30 seconds to reboot. You’re just wasting other people’s time.
If you have a car that has an intermittent problem that is nearly impossible to recreate other than randomly - and restarting it fixes it. . . More than likely what will happen is you will take the car in to be fixed. They likely won’t be able to recreate the problem, and tell you to come back when it happens again. Difference there - they don’t mind you coming back cause you’re going to drop $150 every time you show up. The owners will love you. This is Linux, we help each other for a common goal, camaraderie, building something, and the freedom that comes with it.
Every time you have a problem - MAIL me you’re computer - I’ll fix it 100%, and send it back to you for $50/hr to fix it - minimum 1 hour + shipping. I’ll help you FOREVER at that rate too.
If you can’t recreate the problem consistently, if there’s no error in terminal, no error in journal . . .
If you can say every time I do X, my audio goes out - then we can help. Otherwise - you end up what is known in the internet world as: Help Vampire | Community Management Wiki | Fandom
For instance:
If the problem is gone - you DON’T HAVE TO TROUBLESHOOT IT. That’s the beauty of it! You just saved me time, you time, @Fabby time - and time isn’t FREE.
Take note of EXACTLY what you do when it goes out. Then restart your computer - do EXACTLY the same thing again. If it happens again, restart. Do EXACTLY the same thing again - if all 3 times - you have the same problem - post it up! We can help with that.
You’re welcome to spend hours on google - just don’t as others to do it. Time is too valuable. You’ve employed probably hundreds of man hours to your system already. I know of at least two other forums where you have 100+ problem threads created. For instance - another “restart fix thread” - https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/restart-mouse-control-module-in-linux-4175688321/ That’s a severe problem. You’re not new to Linux either. You’re employing a LOT of people’s time to help you and then you say - you can’t be bothered to restart your computer - which fixes your problem. Or you don’t have time to look into the issue right now, but yet you’re willing to ask other people to do it. . . .
With that many problems - there’s either something VERY wrong with your hardware, you’re doing something VERY VERY wrong with your installation process, or you continue to do something that breaks your system. But with 200+ help topics, the only thing I can say 100% is the problem - the system admin (you).
