Audio issue -system keeps swapping between devices when audio file is playing?
by joden1 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PSCF)
So I have a Behringer XR-18 as a USB audio device, and it works well when using it in the DAW. However I have just had a need to start running some audio files (in this case, MP3) and sound kept going on an off, so I checked in settings.
What is happening is the system keeps "chopping and changing" between the Behringer and the system.It's playing on Audacious and the bit where it has Audacious running on: swaps between the XR18 and Polaris (oh I'm running Manjaro Pahvo). And then occasionally the message pops up "attempting to connect to PulseAudio"and it goes glitchy again.
Nothing else is open or running on the system. In fact I re-booted just to make sure.
Is this an issue with Audacious, the system, the Linux audio drivers???
Any ideas?
Thanks
