MP3 Playback Stutters ThinkPad Edge 325

#1 Post by fleamourian » Fri Nov 16, 2012 7:14 pm

Running Ubuntu 12.04, Banshee will stutter say roughly once every two minutes of MP3 playback. This did not use to happen till recently. Anyone experience similar?

As far as I can ascertain Nuvola, the cloud based Google Play front end does not skip. Banshee is my absolute favourite, I love the file queue feature alone, but will try Clementine. I am running 64-bit Xubuntu. I've tried installing restricted extras, did not help.

Was using older version of Banshee installed via Ubuntu Software Centre. Adding Banshee Team PPA then updating; listened 9 minute MP3 no skipping!
