New sound card, same issue. Asus Xonar DX. Shows up in lspci like 'C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]'. Uses the snd_virtuoso driver. The snd_hda_intel module isn't even loaded. The skips have slightly changed character with the new card, but they still happen. And still, when

I finally upgraded to 14.04; same exact issue. One coincidence I noticed and am looking into is that I didn't notice any stuttering when only 64 bit code was running, but when flash or steam were running (both of which run some 32 bit code, if I'm not mistaken), the stuttering began immediately.

And I'll reiterate that when I simply uninstall pulse, but use the same hardware with alsa, the audio doesn't skip. I don't think it's accurate to say it's purely the hda driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio

Like I said above, mine now skips much less frequently than every 10 minutes, so I'm skeptical about tweaking any pulse configs at this point. And since all I did to have it skip less frequently was re- install pulseaudio and update to all the latest precise packages, it seems like the issue is so

Results: using "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1" in /etc/modprobe.d /alsa-base.conf didn't make the problem go away. Using position_fix=2 made the problem actively worse: the audio literally didn't do anything but skip. Using "load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0" in /etc/pulse/default.pa

I've been trying to reproduce this issue for the last couple weeks, and I'm somewhat happy to say it happens much, much less frequently now. Unfortunately, it still happens. It's now on the order of once every few hours on average instead of once every few minutes, but much less regularly -- only
