Howdy,

I have been experiencing annoying brief skips, like on a bumped CD player, with my media players. Replaying the same song or same part of the song does not have the skips, so I don’t think it’s the files’ fault.

Had the same problem in Elisa and VLC. I don’t watch much local video, but streaming audio and video doesn’t have this problem for me.

Watching the system monitor I see I have 10 Gb of free memory and only 5-10% CPU utilization.

System is Debian 12 with KDE and Xwindows. (Wayland doesn’t like my Nvidia 1070)

Any suggestion for how to troubleshoot would be appreciated. I tried downloading more memory but that didn’t help!

    I’ll check on the second. On the OP, is there anything I can do? A better media player? Surely everyone isn’t just putting up with this!

    Thank you for the reply.

      im not too familiar with debian, so its hard to say. could be any number of issues: the type of encoding your media is in, the media player, the kernel, drivers.

          Try a different player. elisa is built on top of vlc’s codec library. see if the problem goes away. if the file’s format is rare i’d try to convert it to a new format and see if the problem is resolved.
