choppy audio in Trixie

Hi Group,
So, I installed Debian Trixie in a VM.
I have installed plenty of distros in VmWare with no audio problems.
It is using 4 GB of my 16 GB available to the host.
When it boots, GRUB beeps, and I enter into Debian Mate.
Orca comes up in such a choppy manner, that I cannot understand what is happening.
Is there something with installing pulseaudio that might fix this?
When I SSH into it and run speaker-test, it too is choppy.
Thanks for any ideas.
Glenn


It used to be wine, women, and song,
Now it's beer, the old lady, and TV.
