 Replying to [comment:5 axeld]:

 it #4656 pops up again.

 I suspect it will... (:-/)  #4656 sounds very much like what I've been
 fighting in #7285!  The latency increases cause audible crackles each time
 they occur, and eventually exceed the buffers provided, so the sound gets
 garbled.  There never was any indication that it might be the audio driver
 itself that was the problem, though.  It's things like moving windows
 around that cause the glitches.

 I've just revisited this -- setting buffer size in auich.settings to 4096
 -- and, as before, I immediately lose all sound.  My test app (modified
 ToneProducer) still shows latency glitches, even though I don't hear them.

 For interest, I increased the buffer count instead (by a lot -- to 64 --
 to keep the total frames the same with a 256 frame buffer).  I get sound,
 but with continuous 'ticking' (at about 6/sec) superimposed.  By my quick
 calculation, that's about twice the rate that the buffer chain circulates
 (256*64/48000.0) so I have no idea what the reason might be.

 I used to get sound eventually with the old large buffer size, so I've
 left the machine running in that state, to see if I can notice anything if
 and when sound appears.
