Ever since I bought this laptop and installed Arch, I have experienced this annoying choppiness.
What happens is that when I highlight other windows, under the minimum memory/cpu load the sound is truncated. I can't listen to music pleasantly on my laptop, and I can't stand it.
My laptop is a HP 530, with an integrated Intel audio card. This is the output from hwd -s:
Sound(a) : 82801G ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller module: snd-hda-intel
I have 1Gb of RAM, and the processor doesn't seem very busy when the sound is truncated. This happens under any DE/WM - even in tty!
For what is worth, I had problems with the speakers not muting when the headphones were plugged in, and I have followed the method indicated here.
Thanks for your time.

Auto is the default, it might not be resolving the model correctly (that's the case with my laptop). Try model=hp.
If that doesn't work, you could try turning off power saving:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0

Thanks! That did the trick. I had put "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop", but using hp works much better.
Thank you!
