Update: I ran the software updater this evening, so i got a bunch of the updates i would have seen saturday morning, and they included a new version of the kernel as well as a bunch of other things...
And after the installation, noticed that it seemed to take care of my instability problems!
To test, i watched TEN you tube music videos...played TEN mp3s on VLC and listened to stream radio for 20 minutes straight and did not hear one double at all!
It was all as smooth and stable as it was on windows on this toshiba laptop with i3 and intel graphics....no glitches on the music on the videos or mp3s....
I was totally shocked...have no idea of what could have induced the change in those updates, but keeping fingers crossed and hope it's a permanent change!
I was getting so frustrated with this i almost re-installed windows 7 and was going to remove ubuntu...if it stays like this i will be tickled pink (lol) knowing i can stay on linux and my favorite distro,
UBUNTU
I guess it will remain a mystery what triggered this off...i'd love to know but...
