iceweasel vs google-chrome
in [Debian]
|
From: Paul Cartwright on 22 Jul 2010 09:00 I just found out I have an issue with audio playing in iceweasel, but NOT in google-chrome. I've mostly used iceweasel, but lately, every morning when I try to listen live to a news show ( http://wsbradio.com/ - listen live) the audio comes out either garbled, or not at all. usually I just do: /etc/init.d/alsasound restart . It crashed iceweasel, and when I restart iceweasel, audio works. Today I decided to just fire up google-chrome, and went to that listen live, and IT WORKED. any clues as to the difference in sound capabilities? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

After it's been open for a few hours that happens to the audio. Doing a killall -9 firefox-bin and then restarting it (with the killall it'll restore all the tabs and windows) restores the audio. I've found the same thing if I leave alsaplayer open overnite. The problem with google-chrome is that it will run my loads way up (6-10) if I leave it open overnite. I very seldom close a browser and usually have multiple windows with multiple tabs open.

I ALWAYS leave my browser open, usually with 4-6 tabs, certain tabs I hit daily, so why close em.. I started using Chrome because iceweasel was doing the same thing to my CPU, but it seems to have stopped. right now, using atop, I see chrome is using 20% of my cpu, Xorg is 16%, but I am streaming audio from chrome. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

No, but I in these modern Web 2.0 times, web pages are much busier and thus burn more CPU (all the same CPU!), thus making each tab time slice with all the others. Presumably you've got ABP and Flashblock installed, which will noticeably ameliorate the load of IW. Also, running v3.6.4 (with it's out-of-process plugins feature) from Experimental (but I do see where it now has the brand new v3.6.7) also greatly helps of multi-core systems. -- Seek truth from facts. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I do have a multi-core and atop is showing: idle: 154% idle: 79% idle:75% chrome 16% Xorg 16% IW 3.0.6 -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
