Another one here: I've got exactly the same problem on a laptop using the snd_intel8x0 driver. First I thought it was about Rhythmbox not processing the cpu speed changes (speedstep) correctly, but since then I've found out it happens without speed changes too. I think you're right it's when the CPU load spikes. It's happening in XMMS too, but with different results (sound goes silent). > I'm not sure how to go about fixing this; any suggestions? My current guess is it's a bug in the sound driver. Please post your sound card details (and lsmod output, I'm interested which driver you use). Klaasjan
