There was a patchset released for qemu that greatly improves the emulated
audio device sound quality. It helps with the frequent popping you'd hear
with vanilla qemu. See this thread on reddit:

It's not upstreamed so you will need to apply it yourself. Alternatively if
you are using Arch Linux, there's a package on the AUR with the patches
already applied:https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qemu-patched/. I have
been using it for some time without issue.
In my configuration I use an emulated Intel HDA device with output to
pulseaudio.
I am using a cmedia USB audio device not emulated sound (this is a
server without any video/audio packages on the host), but thanks for the
info.

I had this problem, and ended up doing audio over HDMI to the monitor,
which has a jack for a speaker. Zero audio stuttering since then. That
was with a 970. I've since upgraded to a 1080, and haven't retested the
USB thing, but also don't see a need to because this works perfectly.
My screen has no audio out :[
Yeah the video card audio is the best, and it saves a pci-e port (or usb
port if you use crappy usb audio like me)
