Since I have updated my XBMC Live-distribution to beta2 I notice that every now and then the audio becomes garbled when playing music. This happens with both mp3-files and Shoutcast-stations and can be fixed by pressing pause and play again. Interesting detail: the garbled audio is actually visible on the visualizer as jittery spikes.
I have connected my Point of View ION-MB330-1 to my receiver using digital optical. XBMC Live has the default audio settings, I think it's 'default' and 'iec958' -- can't check atm. These settings have always worked fine.
Does someone have a clue?

I have the same problem if I set the screensaver to 'dim', when I set it to 'blank screen' it doesn't happen...

Seen a similar problem, with 9.11rc2 Live on an acer revo. After 15 minutes or so, the audio starts to get garbled (normal sound plus a distorted echo, the distortion seems very "digital"). A pause and a unpause seems to fix it.

I have the exactly same, using optical out on nettop ion 330.
In my case screensaver has nothing to do with it.

Sounds like an ION-related bug... has anyone looked at their log-files to see if there's any indication what is going on?

The garbled audio doesn't occur when I disable both the screensaver and visualization. Another thing I noticed: sometimes, instead of garbling the audio, XBMC just plain crashes. This happens mostly on Shoutcast-streams, never on smaller mp3-albums.
WEIRD.

I just upgraded to Camelot from the RC1 version. This doesn't solve the problem. The only fix is disabling the screensaver.

Hmm. Updating to Camelot made it worse and disabling the screensaver doesn't help at all anymore. Will try to produce log-file tomorrow :-S

Camelot shows this for me as well. Screensaver and visualizations disabled doesn't seem to help. Seems to particularly happen on shoutcast streams. Every 10 minutes or so it starts to get garbled. Sometimes it will more or less correct itself after a few minutes, but generally needs a pause/play to fix it.
Using the analog audio out, vdpau enabled for video, vis off, screensaver off.
