Title:
  [GA-MA770T-UD3P, Realtek ALC888] Distorted crackling noise when used
  with low latency clients

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Description:
  In certain applications, including FluidSynth (and sometimes VLC) yet not 
Rhythmbox, the onboard audio of the Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P (rev. 1.0) 
motherboard "sort of" works; there is a loud, distorted crackling noise mixed 
with the audio. A different, more "ordinary" crackle occurs in audio recorded 
using Sound Recorder and Skype.

  Both playback and recording in 12.04 and 12.10 are affected. I do not
  remember how well the audio worked in 11.10. Sometimes, after some
  time has elapsed, or when other applications (e.g. Flash plugin) are
  opened, the crackle goes away. In fact, it did go away a couple
  seconds after I clicked Apport's "Close" button after reproducing the
  bug using the steps below.

  Workarounds I tried:
  Upgrading to the latest DKMS driver snapshot (dkms-hda - 
0.201212071018~quantal1) made no difference. "position_fix=1" made no 
difference either (perhaps that was already in use). "position_fix=2" removed 
the crackle but caused a sound I can best describe as "CD skipping".

  Adding the "tsched=0" setting to /etc/pulse/default.pa did work for
  playback. However, this did not fix recording in the aforementioned
  applications.

  Steps to reproduce (on my hardware):
  1. sudo apt-get install fluid-soundfont-gm fluid-soundfont-gs fluidsynth
  2. pulseaudio -k
  3. fluidsynth -nia pulseaudio /usr/share/sounds/sf2/*.sf2 foo.mid

  fluidsynth -nia alsa is also problematic, EXCEPT when I specify "-o
  'audio.alsa.device=hw'".
