Comment 3 for bug 36486

Hello Sitsofe,

> make sure your hard disk and DVD drive are on different controllers.

Thanks for this hint, but this is one of the 1st lesson on configure a PC (I'm building PCs since more than 10 years ;)

Harddrive access is one point where I'm looking for this problem. But eg. hdparm -tT /dev/hda shows me nearly the same transfer rates on dapper like on breezy, slackware (or maybe all other distributions when I set hdparm properbly)

yes, I can add some buffering on eg. beep-media-player, but is only a workaround and no solution, cause other distributions shows me the same buffer settings.

I have only 3 major (for me) problems on the (very very nice:) dapper and hopefully these problems went away with the release.

Maybe I search on the wrong place for my problem?

Drivers are nearly the same (2.6.1x, alsa, nvidia-binary) on 3 distributions now at my harddisc (breezy, dapper, slackware). I don't think it's a driver problem, because I have seen the same choppy sound on Fedora but for eg. not on Suse since one year when I notice this "problem" the 1st time (I see and check this choppy sound problem on every distribution I test)
