This happens once in a while (every 1min or so) on low load and increases when there is a lot of disk activity. Using the driver version 2.6.32-22.201005210601 from audio-dev-ppa. Problem does not appear with the official lucid drivers in linux- backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic (2.6.32.22.23). I'm using the dev version for nvidia hdmi-support. my alsa-info.sh output: http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=b8502df177229c979aa475c0aaad0a02c2825b23 dmesg get's filled with these (not in accordance with stuttering): [ 1761.476830] ALSA hda_intel.c:1666: azx_pcm_prepare: bufsize=0x10000, format=0x4011 [ 1761.476844] ALSA hda_codec.c:1158: hda_codec_setup_stream: NID=0x2, stream=0x5, channel=0, format=0x4011 [ 1761.493735] ALSA hda_codec.c:1158: hda_codec_setup_stream: NID=0x3, stream=0x5, channel=0, format=0x4011 [ 1761.513715] ALSA hda_intel.c:1666: azx_pcm_prepare: bufsize=0x10000, format=0x4011 [ 1761.513726] ALSA hda_codec.c:1158: hda_codec_setup_stream: NID=0x2, stream=0x5, channel=0, format=0x4011 [ 1761.533673] ALSA hda_codec.c:1158: hda_codec_setup_stream: NID=0x3, stream=0x5, channel=0, format=0x4011 Happy to debug further!
