This is the key stuff that I am trying.... Just want to make note in case I forget what I changed...
3.3. Fix for sound skips and other problems
Thank you to Michael Hamilton for submitting me the idea how it works.
The working of this Fix was confirmed by two People, so it looks like it works, but it may not work for everyone. Please feel free to submit further experiences!
Lets go: It looks like at least the sound skips are curable by maximizing the pci latency timer of the device.
First you have to find the "pci-address" of your Soundcard. This could be done with lspci. You have to look for something like "Multimedia audio controller" or "AudioPCI". Take the "pci-address" of the device (looks like something like that: 01:06.0 -> it stands for: bus:slot.function) and maximize the latency timer for it. This is done by setpci:
setpci -v -s "pci-address" latency_timer=ff
For additional Information on the Latency Timer you could look here.
Maybe this works also for other problems like USB-Problems and Harddisk-Transfer-Slowdowns, but this hasn't been tested for now. Feel free to test it (but don't blame me, if it doesn't work or makes everything worse) and report whether it works. The problem is, that i have none of this problems and so can't test this by myself.
If it works, you have to perform this setpci command at every startup/reboot of the Computer. So it would be wise to put it in one of the init-scripts (after the driver module is loaded!).
