Audio stuck in a stuttering loop.

[umer]

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha5 AMD64. My system is an HP Pavillion dv4t with an IDT HD Audio Codec. Whenever sound is supposed to be played including the sound at the GDM, it gets stuck in a stuttering loop. The sound will not play to the end, but stop in the middle, and keep repeating. I have not found a way to get this to stop happening. Please let me know if you need anymore information.

Please execute the alsa-info.sh script referenced from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems and attach the URL here.

Also, please attempt to reproduce this symptom in a daily-live image.

I will attempt running the alsa-info.sh script. I found a solution for Hardy, which was to add the pci=noacpi option to the kernel options which fixed the sound issues there, this didn't work for me in Intrepid though.

The output from alsa-info.sh:

This is after using the pci=noacpi option, which results in no sound at all.

I got a daily-live image, problem occurs from the LiveCD, as well as after I install the daily-live image.
Output from alsa-info.sh using the daily-live image, as well as no special kernel options:

I have same problem with 8.04 on a dell Optiplex. Here is my ALSA info link:

I noticed that the problem starts with Terminal Service Client connected - which uses pulse audio.
