This is on 4.3-STABLE built march 28. Low overhead programs like mpg123 will skip occasionally, while programs like aviplay will lose synch between audio/video at an increasing rate, and on the extreme, XMMS is impossible to use. I haven't found much in terms of BIOS settings that will cure it, as they boil down to 'enable/disable'. Suggestions welcome on this. Please let me know if you're having a similar experience. Thanks!
