I just installed 3.9-current and KDE on an IBM Thinkpad A31p (fresh
install). When any sounds play in KDE, they kind of "skip", it sounds
like short sections repeat while the sound is playing. This machine
previously (some time ago) had 3.8 and KDE 3.4 installed and the sound
worked fine. I've tried checking "Run with the highest possible
priority (realtime priority)" and increasing the sound buffer to "as
large as possible" with no effect. I found a web page that suggested
turning off full duplex to solve this problem (under FreeBSD), the
default was already off; turning it on stopped sound from working at
all. Any suggestions? Dmesg is below, in case it's relevant.
