Hi everyone! I just installed Pinguy 11.04 and I love it. One problem though, is that my sound skips and stutters whenever I play an audio file, youtube, movies, etc. Below is my lspci printout:

Any help is greatly appreciated. I know you guys are busy with life and other newbies, so whenever anyone can send a post my way is awesome! Thanks all!

Oh, I should also let you know I have (I believe) updated ATI drivers. At least their enabled. Thanks!

Hi RobBecker, Welcome to LQ. Please post the output from the following.

Good luck. ;-)

Hi Peacedog,

The output is as follows:

rob@Rob-Desktop:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC1200
rob@Rob-Desktop:~$

If there's anything else you need, please let me know. Thanks!

I found what looks like a fix in the Ubuntu forums. Try editing or creating the following file.

You'll want to add the following line to the bottom of the entry if the file exists or just add this line in the new file if you have to create it.

Good luck. ;-)

Peacedog,

You are a genius! I applied your fix and my sound works perfectly. Thank you so much. You said you found it in the ubuntu forums. I'm gonna have to take a look at those also in the future if I have any other questions. Now I need to find out how to label this thread as resolved.

Take care!

You're welcome. Glad you got it sorted.

Good luck. ;-)
