I haven't seen alike reports neither for this controller, nor for this 
CODEC. I would try to experiment with:
1) disabling MSI interrupts with hint.hdac.0.msi=0
2) switching to polling mode without using any interrupts with 
dev.hdac.0.polling=1
3) changing buffer size with hw.snd.latency
4) changing playback format (or vchans format it it is used)
5) setting sysctl hw.snd.verbose=2 and checking for application level 
underruns with `cat /dev/sndstat`.
