Here's my current incantation which seems to work for me: 1. In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf have a line:
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 2. In /etc/pulse/default.pa I have: .ifexists module-udev-detect.so load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 .else ### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev/hal support) load-module module-detect tsched=0 .endif 3. Not sure if relevant, but this a change in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf: default-fragments = 256 default-fragment-size-msec = 4 4. Important, I fire up alsamixer and set Auto-Mute to Disabled. If one of these steps is missing the problem is bad. With these, the stuttering is rare. And no, I won't rant about how playing audio on BeOS was so unproblematic. And I could even play 16 simultaneous movies as well..... -- 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
