LinuxQuestions.org - The sound cuts out in Linux Mint 7

Hi!

I write you because I'm having strange problems whit the sound in my laptop with Linux Mint 7 —Ubuntu 9.04-based distro. If I try to play music with Songbird sometimes the sound cuts out —actually I don't think how to explain it in English... it's like one part of the song runs over next part, but only a few milliseconds... more or less like playing a streaky CD. I don't think that could be a Sonbird problem, because I try with the Try option in gnome-sound-preferences and sometimes the test sound has some interrupts... I've tried with ALSA and Pulse Audio in gnome-sound-preferences and the both of them seems to have the same issues.

And emesene (IM program) has a problem that I think is related to this. Sometimes then I'm in an status different of not available, the sound that sounds when a buddy sings in sounds very irritating, like if someone wrinkles some king of material that I actually can't describe... A very annoying sound.

I think these problems are related with the sound card, but when I used Linux Mint 6 (Ubuntu 8.10) everything worked fine...

By the by, my laptop is an Intel Core 2 Duo (2.0 GHz) with 2GB DDR2 and 2 monitors (extended monitor) and this is the info of my sound card:
