Awful background noise at start of every new game [ubuntu 12.10 64bit; pulseaudio]

Every time I start a new game or load a new map I get heavy noise. It's very distracting. This might be called "initial synchronization bug".


edit, there is one error message related to sound shown in console:

idAudioHardwareALSA::GetDMAPos: sound buffer underrun

[megaman3]

have you tried snd_restart (console command)?

It should be a quick fix.

[Terveys]

have you tried snd_restart?

Yes, doesn't help at all.



edit:

seta s_driver "alsa"

and then doing

snd_restart

fixes annoying sound artifacts until the next map loads, then I have to do

snd_restart

again


other sound settings I have

s_alsa_latency "80"
s_mixahead "0.140"
