Stuttering Playback

[shaggytwodope]

It may be necessary to add a model option to your alsa-base.conf file, open it by typing in a terminal:

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and pasting only the below line as is, on the bottom of the file, on its own new line.

Code:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell

Then proceed to reboot, and test audio. If this does not work we may need to test other model options.

A brief reason why, is that the driver tries to do an automatic set for proper flags and in doing so it sometimes gets this wrong. The intel audio is basiclly one of the most common drivers for audio hardware. Because the hardware varies so much we may need to use different model options. Typically this is the cause of your issue of messed up audio, I hope this fixes it. If not we try until it is :-p
