Public bug reported:

When listening to music (e.g. with VLC) or watching Youtube on the
guest, there's lots of stuttering and crackling in the sound.


Tested with the following QEMU start commands:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 6G -cpu host -smp 3 -cdrom
./linux/kubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso -boot d -vga virtio -soundhw hda
-display sdl,gl=on

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 6G -cpu host -smp 3 -cdrom
./linux/kubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso -boot d -vga qxl -soundhw hda
-display sdl

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 6G -cpu host -smp 3 -cdrom
./linux/kubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso -boot d -vga qxl -soundhw hda
-display gtk


If I use the following command (QXL graphics, "remote" access via SPICE over unix socket), stuttering is not completely gone but MUCH less annoying:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 6G -cpu host -smp 3 -cdrom
./linux/kubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso -boot d -soundhw hda -vga qxl
-device virtio-serial-pci -device
virtserialport,chardev=spicechannel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -chardev
spicevmc,id=spicechannel0,name=vdagent -spice
unix,addr=/tmp/vm_spice.socket,disable-ticketing

and this command for accessing the VM:
remote-viewer spice+unix:///tmp/vm_spice.socket 


Guest: Kubuntu 20.04 64-bit (live), but occurs with many other as well
Host: Arch Linux, with KDE desktop
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230v2 (4 cores + hyperthreading)
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: Nvidia GTX 980 Ti
