I have a Gigabyte H97-D3H motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4962#sp) that says it has the RealtekĀ® ALC1150 codec. I get this same issue. It seems random, sometimes working for a while and sometimes skipping constantly and going scratchy. I installed starcraft 2 through playonlinux and the entire audio seemed stuffed (seemingly the same problem but a lot worse) except for a few small bits that got through. My problem seems to get worse the more that the computer is doing (which would also explain why a game under wine would have more issues).
I have not tried the above solutions yet, however, as soon as I boot back into Ubuntu (14.04LTS) I will give them a go. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1321421 Title: 8086:8ca0 Sound output distorted/unusable with Intel Z97/H97 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1321421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
