I have a custom built pc with a Gigabyte MB (I'm not sure of the model # offhand) and an AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core Processor, I am currently running Windows 7 with no issues, other than the fact that it is windows...
I want to run Ubuntu Linux on it, but any time that I have had Ubuntu on it, the audio doesn't work right. I have not tried a clean install, but I have used the wubi, but that should act the same way as a clean install right?
Specifically, when I play audio files, using the on-board sound card (I also tried a SoundBlaster Audigy, same issue) and several different music players (VLC, Banshee, Movie Player, Rhythmbox), the sound is choppy, almost like an old cd player that would skip if something bumped it. The skips are inconsistent and can start anywhere from the beginning of the song to one minute into it. I have tried mp3s, AACs, and oggs, all have the same issue. However, I did not have this issue playing a video file (.m2ts in this case) in VLC.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to how to solve or identify the source of this problem?

Thanks,
Nick
