Hi all!
Strange problem. Since a recent world update, sound from the Google Chrome browser (Flash as well as <video> tags) has a noticeably higher pitch.
Here's some possibly relevant information:
- www-client/google-chrome-27.0.1453.15_beta191758
- media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.26-r2
- media-sound/pulseaudio-3.0
Please let me know what additional information I can provide. |

The beta chromium-27 just now devels to use pulseaudio.
Pulseaudio was a masked use flag <chromium-27.
Nothing "strange" if some strange effects occure! |

I see! Well, that might just explain it then.
Any suggestions on how to (temporarily) fix this? Other than downgrading to chrome-26 or switching to chromium? The branded browser doesn't seem to support any use flags (other than +plugins).
(PS: Normally I would file a bug somewhere, but I'm afraid I just can't spare the time right now. )
Edit: I found the following bug report that seems quite relevant: https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=1587.
Edit 2: I used the workaround suggested by 'thedra...@gmail.com' in that bug-report. Edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and set the following values:
Code: | default-sample-rate = 48000
default-sample-format = s16le |
That fixed the problem for me. |
