I also am having terrible USB audio. Trying to just chill listening to the blues, and hear every minute, a pop or hiccup. If I switch to the onboard sound (even if SPDIF output), perfectly fine. My monitor's built in speakers are USB, and I'm about to just connect regular speakers to the built in sound output.
I've been having this problem for several years. (Since I bought this computer in 2008 to be exact). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1136110 Title: USB Audio Codec choppy playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1136110/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
