This is something I didn't expect from a new motherboard, but I think it is a software support problem. It happens, in games mostly, that the sound gets distorted and stutters. It is quite annoying. I'm wondering what could it be?
I messed up my sound drivers (or something related) when cleaning up a couple of packages.
Seems like I was wrong. Now the sound doesn't work and the sound icon in the upper-right corner shows there's no sound. When I click that icon it says that I'm either without GStreamer plugin or sound driver. I'm not sure which, but I guess GStreamer.
