alsa pcm underrun

Post by lanceleau2 »

I often get this message in my terminal output while running wesnoth :

"ALSA lib pcm.c:7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred"

Is there a way to find where this come from/fix it ?

I've seen this error in a completely wesnoth-unrelated context as well, on an ubuntu 12.04 system. I think it means that your system's audio output stream has gaps and such, due to the system being under heavy load.
