Hello all.

Tried searching, but cannot find similar problem.

When I playback Music in both FLAC and MP3 format, I get random hiccups, or stuttering or pauses in the music. I never had this problem in Eden. I have music playback on 3 outputs:

HDMI from my NVIDIA GT430 to my TV (for watching content without having the receiver on)
Optical output from the motherboard to the receiver
Analog output from the motherboard to Zone 2 on the receiver

I can get music playback to work properly if I change my audio output from PulseAudio Sound Server to HDA NVidia (NVidia), HDMI

See attached photos for configuration:





If there are any other details i can provide, let me know. I'm a Linux Newbie... I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!
