How can I fix choppy audio?

Edit the file /etc/pulse/default.pa.

Find the following line:

load-module module-udev-detect

Change the line to the following:

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

Restart PulseAudio:

pulseaudio -k

Should do the trick.

The solution for me was to edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

sudo -H gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Find the line

; resample-method = 

uncomment (remove the ;) and change to

resample-method = src-sinc-best-quality

If the line is not there at all, then add it.

Reboot for changes to take effect.

For me none of the above worked. My issue appears to have been with adb (Android Debugging Bridge). I resolved my issue simply by stopping the adb server with the following command: adb kill-server.

Wanted to share in case anyone else was having the same issue while using adb

This likely does not apply to a lot of people.
