Linux Client Sound Issue
Hey guys,
I'm playing on Ubuntu, and there was recently a very useful blog by Grod on removing the nasty white toolbar from the client, so maybe someone can help me with this!
My client, seemingly at random, will switch from the normal sound to this really grainy low-quality sound instead. It sounds as if my speakers are broken, but I know it's not a hardware thing because nothing but the client is affected. Has anyone else run into this, and I guess more importantly has anyone else fixed it?
It's not game breaking, but it *is* pretty annoying, so please help me out!

have you checked older forum posts? A few years ago there were many linux related BB threads.

I believe you should use pure ALSA instead of pulseaudio.

Try killing the bloodbowl client, running:
pulseaudio -k
from the command line to restart pulseaudio, and restarting the bloodbowl client. (Pulseaudio is a piece of shit).

Pulse is the culprit, but you probably don't want to remove it or Unity sound menu will stop working (plus it's not as bad as people say sometimes...).
Long story short, it's completely random. I've tried many fixes but it never worked. Here is what I have noticed though:
Linux Mint on my olf computer: no sound issue.
Ubuntu on the same computer (same version): pulse used to crash repetitively. No distribution upgrade has ever fixed it.
Ubuntu on another computer: I had sound issues, it used to crash sometimes, but it also used to fix itself after 30 or 60 sec.
Ubuntu on a brand new computer (I boot on the HDD of the previous one, so it's exactly the same config): no sound issue at all. It works like a charm.
So yeah, it's really random.
