Linux client: screenshare viewing - audio crackling

TeamSpeak 6 Client
, ,

Viewing a screenshare looks and sounds fine for a while, then the audio will begin to crackle
The crackling can be eliminated by setting clock.force-quantum 128

Strangely this also only is a temporary fix, and the same crackling occurs after some time
No matter how much this value is increased, the crackling always seems to return

Thanks for the detailed report, I’ll forward this to QA to investigate.

Also a quick solution I’ve noted is simply rejoining the stream when the crackling starts

Same here. I think it has existed since the first build (build 3 at least had it, and the update didn’t help). Hotfix or temporary fix would be nice, rejoin screenshare work but can cause information lose between reconnection

Same for a friend of mine.
Fresh install of teamspeak 6 after a while maybe like 30 min, audio starts crackling and can only be fixed while rejoining the stream or restarting it.

Yes, i have had this issue for really long time and i hoped for beta4 to include a fix for that, since it was said before several times that the update includes several screensharing fixes
