In Ubuntu 23.04 and 22.10 installed in VMware 13 there is sound stuttering. Ubuntu 20.04 does not have this problem. In Fedora 38 I also had problems with sound. In fedora 38 I changed the file ~/.config/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua. I set these values. This solved the problem.

["api.alsa.period-size"]   = 1024,
["api.alsa.headroom"]      = 8192,

But this doesn't help in Ubuntu 23.04. What can I try to fix the sound problem?

I had the same stuttering / choppy sound issue. My config is VirtualBox on Windows10 with Ubuntu 23.04 as client. All 64bit and fully up-to-date. Nightmare to find some data which lead me into the right directions.

Although not fully tested yest I think you might find a solution here: How do I use X instead of wayland on 22.04?

In other words Wayland is causing the issue. Disable it as suggested and reboot.

New version of WirePlumber uses different configuration.

You have to create file ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/50-alsa-config.conf with content:

monitor.alsa.rules = [
  {
    matches = [
      # This matches the value of the 'node.name' property of the node.
      {
        node.name = "~alsa_output.*"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      # Apply all the desired node specific settings here.
      update-props = {
        api.alsa.period-size   = 1024
        api.alsa.headroom      = 8192
      }
    }
  }
]
