mp3 playback choppy

Sun Jan 17, 2010 2:07 pm
I'm using Amarok 2.2.2 with Ubuntu Karmic and have installed Xine, the Ubuntu restricted extras package, and mp3 support via sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly


If I play an mp3 in Amarok, the output is choppy and skips. If I play the same file in VLC, there is no issue. I did not install Gstreamer. Could this be the issue or is it something else?

Do you have ReplayGain activated?


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

I do not know what ReplayGain is? Where would I check whether it is activated or not? Thanks for the help.

Please look at the Settings menu. Replay Gain is a setting...

You should search the forum a bit, almost all your questions have been asked before.

I did search the forums for all of my questions. However, I did not find solutions. I did not search for Replay Gain because I assumed you would respond with more information about it. I found the setting that you referred to and turning Replay Gain off seems to have fixed the mp3 playback being choppy issue. Thank you for your help. I will try to be more diligent in looking for answers on the forum in my future posts.
