Thanks again guys and gals. > > System Info: <snip *more* than adequate hardware> I use alsa with an SB live value (5.1), also on ext3, and I don't have this problem... I get a hiccup or two during an apt[-get|itude] install, but not much else will make it skip. So you might want to try alsa... OR It might be your HD settings... check hdparm, and make sure that uhh... DMA (I think that's the parameter) is enabled. Your hardware is twice as fast as mine, twice as much RAM, so it may be the ALSA difference (no idea how likely that is) or it may be that something's hitting your HD performance pretty hard... But it's definitely not a question of needing more processor, RAM, or sound card.
