Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Release Candidate Released

sounds cracking , on my creative audigy .

Dunno why

oh, creative huh...

Hey ... Sounds slutter even for me. Whenever there is some window activity like minimize/maximize the music slutters.

CPU utilization shoots up to 90% when system monitor is opened.

thats "stutter" must be the pulseaudio issues which people are complaining about on ubuntuforums.org. even tho this is supposed to be an LTS release the developers released new untested stuff like pulseaudio knowning about the issues... can you try uninstalling pulseaudio and installing alsa... i am not sure how to do it, audio works fine for me. i was always worried since the early days of hardy about why ubuntu people are adding so much new unstable stuff for an LTS... maybe that is why they have an update release scheduled for june/july version 8.04.1 i guess gutsy was a super release.

Just change the audio output device from pulseaudio to alsa or oss. I don't think you need to uninstall it.

P.S : pulseaudio works for me, but the sound output (volume) level is on the lower side

ya volume was low for me too, raised both the main and front volume sliders to full to bring it to XP normal levels

i'm still enjoying Feisty Fawn at the moment. Waiting for a more reliable release

^^Lets hope everything gets fine with 8.04.1 I mean the problem people are facing with Pulse Audio Intrepid Ibex will be a more stable and beautiful release with full make over of Ubuntu theme and wallpaperThough I haven't yet tested the final release Stilll playing with KDE 4 Remix

Well until and unless I'll test it, I won't say anything about it have to test Mandriva too.. Darn I am on 128Ul so can't even think of d/l ISO .. Relying on brother 2 Mbps net connection... ANy 1 got the CD's .. How is the new CD cover ? I can't find any images of new Cd cover ?

@reef_d : gutsy is a good update to have. then you can wait until intrepid. me too waiting to see how the new theme turns out. luckily i read on a blog they are going back to more brown themes away from the increasingly bright orange which im beginning to find annoying... plus, the push for intrepid will be "internet everywhere" or something like that. i hope that means much better laptop/wireless support and i hope my tablet pc's touchscreen will work out of the box too - fingers crossed
