lists.jjorge I just cannot reproduce here. Can you please try with another user, to ensure it is not a personal combination of settings? Status:

UNCONFIRMED Same problem on a text virtual consol (Ctrl-Alt-F2) as root. But using mplayer to play the same mp3 does not present the problem (in both cases). Any hint on the settings to try to change to help isolating the problem? (Note that it worked perfectly under Mageia 5, and I did not made any change in the sound settings when I updated to Mageia 6 — so either these are the default Mageia 6 settings that superseded the old one, or the old Mageia 5 one that worked previously, that are in use now — I don't know what does the upgrade on this point). Thanks for any help, Complement: The problem still exists when desactivating the « Glitch-Free mode ». However, it disappears when desactivating « PulseAudio ». So it seems to be related to « Pulse Audio ». As a user, the problem is for me solved, but is this normal that Pulse Audio has such a strange behavior with mpg123? Another complement: when deactivating PulseAudio, mpg123 plays correctly... But that prevent any other software to use the sound, and for instance mplayer hangs at the start of any video waiting for the sound to be available... So that does not solve the problem in a satisfactory way. Since I did not experienced that with Mageia 5, I guess I used Pulse Audio on Mageia 5... So something seems to have been broken in the Mageia 6 PulseAudio/mpg123 coupling. If there is any command I can run to help in diagnosing the problem, I'll be happy to execute them...

So that does not solve the problem in a satisfactory way. This is the normal limit of linux sound. Pulseaudio solves this problems nicely so mpg123 should work well with it. > > Since I did not experienced that with Mageia 5, I guess I used Pulse Audio > on Mageia 5... So something seems to have been broken in the Mageia 6 > PulseAudio/mpg123 coupling. It could also be something bogus in the upgrade, that we will never be able to reproduce. An interesting test would be to try to boot from a Mageia live media, and play directly an mp3 without installing it to the harddrive, just to ensure the bug still happens with your hardware. mpg123 was updated in MGA6 for a security fix. Did that fix your bug with pulseaudio? Keywords:

NEEDINFO Just made the test (it's not very practical on a production machine, since I have to log out and in to have the changes made). Did not solve the problem. Note that without pulseaudio, everything works well and, despite what I said before, I can even have several music/video using sound at the same time. The only case when it does not work is when I just made the change from pulseaudio to linux sound, and until the next reboot. Mga6, and last post is old. Status:
