Audio glitches occuring randomly every 2-10 minutes

Asked by Raphael Höps

Hi,
when watching any video or playing any sound, I get some pretty annoying audio glitches every 2-10 minutes. It sounds like about half a seconds was cut out of the audio.
This seems to be some kind of a common problem to a lot of users as there can be found a lot of discussions and ideas of solutions on different pages. I have tried a lot of possible solutions (see below) but none of them did the job for me.
I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure and on "Step 3" it is suggested to run a diagnosis script and post the results here. This is what I am doing now. My data can be found here:

I hope you can help me with other suggestions on how to solve my issue. Thanks a lot!

sudo nano /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/intel-audio-powersave
Find the line:

INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=${INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE:-true}

Comment it out using "#". Underneath add the line:

INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=false

Save and exit, then restart.

sudo sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save'
sudo sh -c 'echo N > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save_controller'

sudo chmod 550 /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
sudo chmod 550 /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save_controller

alsamixer -c0
Press F6 and select your sound card (in my case HDA Intel PCH).
Go towards the right and disable Auto-Mute M.

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=auto vid=8086 pid=8ca0 snoop=0 power_save=0 power_save_controller=N
