I seem to have found a workaround - disabling message signalled interrupts for snd_hda_intel. I guess they are b0rked for this driver - were they switched on recently? I recall that the driver started stuttering only after a kernel "upgrade" that was released after Precise stable was released.
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and append "enable_msi=0" to the "options snd-hda-intel" line (should be near the end). Chrome flash video was completely unusable prior to this for stuttering and skipping, but seems quite solid now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1019693 Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel, playback] Audio stuttering To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1019693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
