I'm experiencing the same behavior as berend in post #22. My Bluetooth headphones work great, but the HDA Intel device in my Lenovo ThinkPad T420 gives me fits. My solution for right now is to use an external USB audio device or Bluetooth headphones to work around the problem.
It's interesting that so many people could potentially be affected by an issue affecting the HDA Intel hardware, yet this thread is quite small. There's got to be a specific combination of hardware and software that causes this issue. At this point I guess we know that snd-hda-intel and pulseaudio are required to reproduce the issue. What other items are common to the issue? Here's my audio hardware for reference: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996906 Title: periodic audio skips with Intel HDA To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/996906/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
