I'm having a bit of a problem... If I play a sound, for a few seconds after the sound plays, any other sound that is played within those few seconds is perfectly fine and plays on time.
However, if it is after those few seconds... There is a 1-2 second delay in the next sound playing. Now, this isn't much of a complaint, except with GTK apps...
If I use a GTK app, every time I press a button, it makes a sound. And, it won't continue to press the button until the sound is played... So, I press a button, and it shows the button pressed in... But acts as if I'm holding in the mouse button for a second or two, before finally pressing the button. However, if I then press another button shortly after, it works fine... Because it's within those few seconds mentioned above.
However, this is very annoying. I've been using Firefox and Chromium (from their Ubuntu PPA), and if I'm reading a web page, it's always at least barely long enough for those few seconds to pass... And so, I have to wait another few seconds for a tab to close, a bookmark to open, or whatever I'm doing if I'm pressing a button.
It was not like this when I first installed, but I don't think it's a configuration problem... Mostly because I tried starting a new account 'testing', and seeing if the problem existed with a default setup. It still existed.
Is there a package I should uninstall? I know that in Gnome, you can choose to disable button sounds (and indeed this problem does NOT exist in Gnome whenever I log into it, even with button sounds enabled)... But I can't find such an option in the GTK settings in KDE.
Nor can I find a way to get the sound system to behave.
Any help? I just want my GTK apps to work fine.
Note: I'm pretty sure it's the sound system, since the sound delay happens in QT programs also... Though the QT program will perform the action and press the button before the sound is played. I suppose GTK could work around this by having the sound played after the button presses, but I'm not that skilled with programming and I don't want to recompile all the GTK libraries from scratch, just to fix a silly problem like this.
