My laptop suffers from audio stuttering (it's been a while, now) but I'm not very sure about the root reason and so I'm here. OS is LMDE 3 x64 (Debian Stretch based) with latest updates, it ships with pulseaudio 10.0. Hardware is based on an intel i5 with integrated audio device (I can provide further details if needed) but also an external USB card, suffering the same audio issue. Now, the issue itself is not easy to reproduce, as it is randomly appearing but it is an audio stuttering, it lasts some 200 ms of repeated sound, happening (about) every ten minutes, it is very annoying. In the last few days I played youtube videos using firefox (stuttering appears) and played a Windows game using wine (stuttering appears). Further, I can tweak a bit mpv and deadbeef: well, when using pulseaudio output both stutter, but if I forward output directly to alsa driver then I have no stuttering anymore. So, can I say pulseaudio is causing my issue? And if I can, should I fix this by tweaking pulseaudio settings? Or should I first update pulseaudio perhaps?
