I had some distortions, spikes, blubbs, blopps, quirks ... when I played some MP3 files with Clementine under openSUSE. The same file played fine in foobar2000, Rhythmbox, etc. I could not find any solution on the internet. Suggestions tested, like changing the output plugin for the GStreamer audio engine, did not work. I finally found the solution by uninstalling:
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-fluendo_mp3
0.10.18-3.1 271.0 KiB
and installing:
gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3
21-1.2 1.4 MiB
Now Clementine is my favourite music player under Linux, but foobar2000, customized over the years, is still my #1.
