After one of last updates in my Ubuntu Intrepid sound began to stutter. About once in every 7-10 seconds there is a little "hung" and my Amarok/mplayer/whatever repeats a small piece of music. This causes listening really annoying. The same is with a mouse - it sometimes becomes unmovable for a piece of a second.
I could consider it the fault of the age of my laptop (ASUS A6B00U with AMD Sempron 3000+, 1 GB DDR1, SiS M760GX graphics card which is lacking a good driver - 'sis' open driver is broken in Intrepid so I use 'vesa') but *this problem has never existed before*, even though I used VirtualBox with Debian etch installed.
I don't know if it's connected but after one of last updates (my screen resolution remained to be 1280x768; should be 1280x800, but vesa does not support it) I cannot see doubled horizontal lines (although I should, because this is the way of displaying 1280x768 on 1280x800 screen); instead of that some parts of the screen are a little fuzzy (but it's only visible in a bit fuzzy fonts) - could that be killing my laptop performance skills?
For most of the time CPU usage (with VirtualBox, Firefox, Thunderbird, Amarok, Krusader, Transmission etc.) is at about 40% (but sometimes reaches 100% for short moments - and then this 'stuttering' problem appears), memory usage - about 600/900 MB.
The 'sis' bug I mentioned above is reported at the location:
