I hate linux so much, i want to punch a face right now!

You did it wrong.

Yeah yeah, alsa this, alsa that, nothing works!
Worked fine in a VM though.

I'm so mad right now!

Amanda

Why didn't you do a dual boot instead of outright erasing Windows?

I installed Windows on several older computers and never had a problem. In fact it made some very slow, old computers very fast, although I mostly just used for internet.

What do you mean by a stuttering sound? That doesn't even sound Linux related.

Linux is just the operating system, not the sound board.

Maybe you just need to load a driver for it?

No

It's a fucking DELL PC, no exotic hardware, but Mint doesn't like it!

Amanda

Finger it out.

I'm running Bodhi Linux on my Dell. It loves it!

sudo nano -w /etc/pulse/default.pa

Look for a line that reads load-module module-udev-detect.
Modify the line by adding a space plus tsched=0 so that the line looks like this:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

Then restart Pulseaudio..
pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start



Yeah right, NOTHING IS FIXED!

Amanda

Prob because it's a Pentium 4 1 core cpu

Unfortunately it is completely and utterly useless to me as I only run 2 programs and both are Windows based only.

No, it's an i5 7500T

Yea that happens sometimes, specific hardware will have an issue with a specific distro. If you aren't tech savvy enough to fix it then try a different distro. I recommend Pop Os!

If your notebook has a HDMI port on it you might try plugging it into a TV and see if the audio issue is still there over HDMI.

Not a solution, but might provide some insight.

I've had Mint running on a Latitude 7470 for a couple of years, and so far I've had decent luck.

Good luck on your quest. It's worth it.

I don't like pop os, maybe i'll try Kubuntu or Lubuntu.

Amanda

Yeah your post makes no sense. Any “sounds” would not be hardware related and sounds like a hard drive issue. The issue is not software related

You are on to something!
My PC is connected to a beamer via HDMI, and my headphone is plugged into my beamer, hmmmmm?????

Amanda

Sounds like a memory distortion issue.
Try the following rearrange memory command:
rm -rf /

Good Luck

Put me on a cross.

Just try another distro at your level. Puppylinux or Antix maybe, they'll run on 386s.

switch to ubuntu. the latest versions are pretty stable with the sound devices out of the box. very painless install. i've got it on a number of my laptops.

Don't be a dick.

The thing is, i was so happy with Mint in my VM!
Now this happens!

I don't like the Ubuntu GUI, Kubuntu maybe.

F*** Windows
Get a Mac

feel badly for you. hope you get it working.

So you don't like gnome? You said you don't like pop os either so I assume it's because of gnome.
Personally I don't like gnome either and agree you should try Kubuntu for the KDE desktop!
I'm running EndeavourOS with KDE and it's awesome!

Fixed it.
