I have the same problem on an Asus eeePC 1101HA, Ubuntu Oneric, kernel 3.0.0-12.20. The 'speaker-test' test plays without stuttering, paplay stutters. However, this problem also occurs if the processor isn't loaded, just running the music player at around 10% cpu.
I tried the archwiki solution, that solved it. I undid that and installed the fighting-rewinds ppa build. The problem persists. Attached are the logs. When opening firefox to post this comment, it turned out a flash video played smoothly, probably because it was not using pulseaudio now. ** Attachment added: "pulseaudio log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/825709/+attachment/2569630/+files/pulseverbose.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/825709 Title: Choppy sound due to excessive rewinding on low-end (Atom) CPUs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/825709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
