Quoting "Leonard \"paniq\" Ritter" <paniq(a)paniq.org>rg>:
has anyone had experience with the intel ICH7 (high definition audio)
chipset (alsa hda-intel driver) and jack with the alsa backend? i seem
to be getting about 30 xruns per second, sound stutters, no matter what
settings i try.
Try different settings for the module parameters disable_msi and
position_fix . See "modinfo snd-hda-intel" for more information.
That solved the problem for me (and enabling capture on the device to make
it actually return samples for capturing).
