Bug Description

There is lag on all my audio and video (Rythmbox, Totem...) every few seconds.
The problem disappears when I add "noapic" in the kernel parameters.
I didn't notice any error messages in the system log (syslog...)

It is a regression because this issue does not exist in previous versions of Ubuntu on this computer :
Ubuntu 9.04 : ok
Kubuntu 9.10 : ok

I tested Mandriva 2010.1 beta one
uname -a :
Linux localhost 2.6.33.2-desktop586-1mnb #1 SMP Mon Apr 5 23:35:31 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It seems the issue is not specific to Ubuntu Lucid.
=> same problem.
=> The "noapic" kernel option fixes it as for Ubuntu 10.04

Hi FrançoisB,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Jeremy,

I tried the latest kernel available :
uname -a
Linux francoisTest-laptop 2.6.34-020634rc5-generic #020634rc5 SMP Tue Apr 20 10:07:04 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

=> Same behaviour
=> The "noapic" kernel option solved the problem.

Thanks

FrançoisB, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11.1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
