Help my sound!!!

For several weeks now, my sound has been cutting out, sometimes when I start trem, sometimes during the game, and I get a message : dropping sound that spams up my screen. Screenshot at the link below.
Other note, about the same time this happened, I couldn't exit tremulous without freezing the comp, so i had to alt-enter, console key, minimise, and terminate the process whenever i wanted to exit.

Idk if they're related, but if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it

Kill pulseaudio and see if it happens again. Post here results.

I've heard references to pulseaudio in forums before when i was going through a ut2004 glitch, but i never fully understood it, is it an audio driver, ? So how do i go about disabling it?
ps ty for helping
