Hello,
When I playback music in rhythmbox there is erratic “lag” for the fraction for a second every so often. It does play, but it is not a very pleasant experience, as these “lags” disrupt the flow of the music. This is a problem I have observed before on other machines running linux. As I don’t listen to music that often, it is not a deal breaker, but it is annoying when I do listen to music nonetheless.
To be more precise: It concerns playback of files on my computer. Youtube works fine and I don’t use any music streaming services. I listen through 3,5mm sockets. I don’t use bluetooth or anything like that.
(Thanks for this awesome distro. I’ve been distro hopping a lot the last two years and I am very happy with Ubuntu Mate. It has been running for a several weeks and it is my favorite distro so far. Thank you!)
Here some Info on my computer, in case it helps:
