The problem might be codecs. Many of the codecs that we are using are reverse engineered, and some are better than others. Ubuntu lists codecs as good, bad and ugly for this reason (besides their might being a violation of copyright laws in the case of some of the windows codecs.)

Try installing different codecs. that can get compicated in that you might install the right one but your system might still be using the wrong one that is giving you the trouble. Be carefull uninstalling codecs. Be sure that you remember which ones that you installed so that you can put them back in.

Not sure if it's a Debian or Ubuntu thing. Anyone else experience slow garbled 
mp3 playback on Ubuntu or other Ubuntu-based distro?

Not with MP3's, specifically, but I've done a lot of debugging of sound problems on Ubuntu recently.

It it just MP3s? Does audio work in general? What are you using for MP3 playback?
