Hello Guys,

I am preatty new with Kdenlive and Ubuntu , I am trying to edit a personal video, but when I load the audio and play it on Kdenlive it seems to be saturated and you can not even recognize what is that. Even when I load the video with the original audio it sounds bad.

Buuut when you render it, the sound is perfect?

I am using:

Kdenlive 0.7.6
KDE 4.3.2

Does anybody has similar problems? and solutions?

Could be that you have pulseaudio installed. If you know what you are doing you could try removing pulseaudio.

Search this forum for pulseaudio and see here:

http://kdenlive.org/user-manual/troubleshooting-and-common-problems/sound-bad-and-delayed
and
http://kdenlive.org/forum/remember-remove-pulseaudio-if-using-kubuntu-karmic

Hope this helps, Geoff

i have similar problem, the audio is distorted and "crackly"

uninstalled PulseAudio, now it works fine, thnks

Hello Guys

After removing Pulseaudio Kdenlive works properly but all the special keys for audio control are not working anymore!

I hope that in future this bug is solved.

Kind regards

I have had some success leaving PulseAudio installed and installing the libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio package. YMMV. I am not sure why this package is not the default SDL audio backend in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl1.2/+bug/203158
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl1.2/+bug/386104

If this works for you, please vote those bugs in launchpad up!

I have libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio, fresh install. and I have sound, but choppy. Without libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio there was no sound. After render is now sound good. I cut .mov with mjpeg. P.

Remember to install the new libsdl1.2-dev 1.2.14-1 if you are compiling mlt.

Sorry, i forgott,i use sunab packages for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic.

This fixes the crackling. How do I fix the delay?

Do you hear crackling when you play the rendered output outside of Kdenlive (in a different video player)? If so, then is this crackling in Kdenlive playback a major problem to do your work or just minor annoyance?

I can confirm that on my system with a creative sound card, I do get frequent ALSA buffer under runs during playback that causes crackling, but so far this has just been a minor nuisance, does not affect rendered output, and not so easy for me to fix in MLT.

hi

i think this crackling problem would be fixed if kdenlive supports Jack, Jack support should be added

the new jack is amazing,
