Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect -p alsa-base 374487

This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Thanks in advance!

It doesn't look like all the attachments that should have been added were added. Could you try executing the same command again? Thanks in advance.

Please try the workaround suggested on http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=331172

As root (sudo, su, however you prefer to get there), edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and add this line to the end of the file:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

Then reboot.

Please note that recent updates (applied between June 15, when I first did the above, and June 22), caused the file to disappear - it's entire contents were copied to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. When this happened, I was back to choppy sound. I restored sound by

sudo cp -p /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

and rebooting.

Refer also to bug# 269012 and bug# 355747, and to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting/#Having%20sound%20issues%20with%20HP%20dvx%20laptop

can you provide the file alsa-info script produces as a attachment here: run it as user in /home/user
wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh --no-upload it will put a report
in /tmp/alsa-info* using it when your sound works and when it doesnt and making files alsa-info-good.txt and alsa-info-bad.txt would be useful for comparisions.

Folks, this problem disappears on my DV7 with Karmic. When you get a chance, please test with Karmic and mark the bug as fix released if it works for you.
