Please note that the quick method I suggested above makes speaker icon look muted. Also, sound settings dialog and keyboard volume keys will become unusable. But in my case, getting rid of stuttering sound outweighs these drawbacks.
In case the drawbacks are not acceptable to you, at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/572580 there is also a way to revert the changes: rm ~/.pulse-a11y-nostart rm ~/.pulse/client.conf Thanks for the link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PositionReporting I didn't know about it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007783 Title: audio skips intermittently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1007783/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
