You would just need to install the linux-rt package through Synaptic Package Manager and then select the -rt kernel when you reboot. No fiddling required! Worth 10 minutes to test I would suggest :-)

Number 9, number 9. Fedora 9 Preview has been cleared for takeoff! Posted Apr 19, 2008 16:41 UTC (Sat) by kripkenstein (subscriber, #43281) [Link] Ok, if it's that simple why not... Tested it. No improvement, sound still stutters and crackles when moving between windows, etc.
Audio stutter and the -rt kernel Posted Apr 19, 2008 18:21 UTC (Sat) by Felix_the_Mac (subscriber, #32242) [Link] Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I should say at this point that I am nothing more than an -rt fanboy and don't have much knowledge on the subject. So take anything I say with a grain of salt and I would welcome correction from more knowledgeable readers. I have often wondered whether the mere act of running the -rt kernel will provide a more responsive system albeit with lower total throughput (and pondered whether it should therefore become the default desktop install). Or whether, on the other hand, to gain appreciable benefit you have to: a) have a workload suited to its purpose b) tune your system (primarily through nice) to produce benefits. The single data point that you have provided me with leans to the second position. (Unsurprisingly) So to give you some more of my ignorant suggestions ... to address your problem maybe you need to run PulseAudio with a priority above the default. Potentially that could work on the standard kernel and/or -rt kernel. Have you tried nice?
Audio stutter and the -rt kernel Posted Apr 19, 2008 18:25 UTC (Sat) by kripkenstein (subscriber, #43281) [Link] No, I didn't try nice or any other priority tinkering. Mainly because I'm not really knowledgeable about the fine details. But also because I presume that if this were a simple case of changing priorities, then the bug could be fixed, but people have worked hard to no avail (judging by the comments).
