I have a Xonar DX with a laggy volume control, you might have guessed already. Sound will interrupt if the volume change is big like from 100% to 50%, it will only skip a bit if the volume change is smaller. The interruptions/silence last more than 5 seconds easily. I can actually see the mixer slider going up and down on its own.
Does this also happen with alsamixer?
Controlling the volume with alsamixer works well, the sound does not break. If i change the volume with the gnome-applet/pulseaudio i can see the sliders in alsamixer getting affected by my changes with some stuttering and the sound does break as described initially.
Volume changes on the Xonar D1/DX need several milliseconds and thus are relatively slow, compared to most on-board sound cards. However, there are other sound cards that behave the same.
It looks as if the gnome-applet saves all mouse moves and tries to execute the volume changes for all intermediate positions even if the mouse has already moved to the final position. Please file a bug with that mixer.
