Comment 16 for bug 274424

Under Jaunty the workaround is the same as for Intrepid. Adding "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" fixes the stuttering issue.

popi31: I had that "issue" as well. It was cleared up for me by increasing the Master, Front, and Headphones sliders to 100%, and using the PCM slider to actually do the volume control.
