sound is crackling while doing other stuff and amarok is playing in the backround

Binary package hint: amarok

When I listen to music with Amarok, the sound is sometimes crackling while the processor is busy (like refreshing sites in firefox, hard disk writing etc.). It started after upgrade to 10.10.

Amarok doesn't handle sound, it's using Phonon for that.

Crackling is usually coming from the combination of PulseAudio and buggy alsa driver, moving but once more ^^
