Linux Mint Forums

Hi there,

I've been reading the forums but didn't find anything that worked.
So I'm completely new to linux, just installed it about a month ago, so far it's much better than expected, it's so good to try something new after windows.

I only have problem with the audio, whenever I play a youtube video or listen to music (in movie player) I get this weird sound skipping every 1 or 2 minutes. It's like when the cpu goes crazy but I checked and it's nothing of the sort. Strange thing is, when I watched a movie (in movie player) I didn't experience this, which makes the problem even stranger.

my hardware: (laptop)
i3-370 cpu
4gb ram
ati hd5470 vga

thanks for every bit of help!

I'm having this same issue too, on an i7 desktop, also 64 bit. I have an intel c200 card with lspci output

00:1b.0 0403: 8086:1c20 (rev 05)

let me know if anyone has any ideas for a fix. Thanks !

same problem when watching movie, help!
