sound overlap issue. Removing xf86-video-intel didn't solved it

I've travelled for other distros about 2 weeks, and I finally decided here arch is best for me.
I'm using arch with gnome DE, and have only one small problem with it.

When I'm playing video or music, there is sound overlap issue.
I cannot find a clue, even where this problem comes from.

Symptom : Let's say I'm watching a video clip at 03:33 part, and suddenly sound from 03:31 plays for 1~2 second and comes back to normal. (withoud display issue. video screen is playing normal at that part)
Even overlaps. But this symptom doesn't occur frequently, so I didn't care. But when I'm having a meeting or important job with my laptop, it's very annoying. So now I'm trying to fix this.

Plz, help me archers If you need any log or setting text, I'll attach here.(but I don't know how, please tell me how)

Laptop : ASUS x541u
Kernel parameter : "pci=nomsi" <- PCIe bus error related when booting
DE : Gnome
Video Driver : xf86-video-intel (I have intel gpu only)
Installed : base/base-devel/xorg-server/gnome - and other userend applications like chromium, etc..

[EDIT 0] Symptom happenned again
Sorry about renaming but I have same issue again.
I think removing xf86-video-intel didn't work well.

If you need any log or setting text, I'll attach here.

Xorg's log for a session in which you experience the problem would be good, I think.

^ Try removing that and falling back to the X server's builtin modesetting driver instead, it is reported to be less buggy than the Intel DDX driver.

Thanks for Quick reply!!
I'll try that and come back soon!

[EDIT 0]
It was AWESOME!! It just fixed!! I tried 11min video right now, and had no issue at all!
Thanks Head_on_a_Stick!!!

Can I ask you why this happens? 'xf86-video-intel' seems like driver only for 'intel' but doesn't work well? Is there any wiki page for this subject?
I think I have to study a lot more Thanks again!!
