All right, I've built my computer about 8 months ago now, a few months ago I've noticed some audio lag / stuttering. I am on Windows Vista x64, 4GB of RAM, Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8500 @, 3.85 GHz [Tested with Prime95 same day as build, passed with 24 hours. I did Blend and RAM tests as well. I use an ASUS P5Q PRO motherboard with no sound card, I use the onboard Realtek sound in an Antec Nine-Hundred case. [Maybe it is bad wiring or some sort of interference because the audio is basically "matching" my memory usage by lagging at the same time]
I have tried removing the drivers, restarting, using the driver on my motherboard disc, then I also tried the newer ones on the Realtek site. None of this makes a difference. I use foobar2000 for my audio player and basically every time I open up a new tab in Firefox it lags or stutters for over 5 seconds and then goes away. I know for sure I didn't always have this problem. I am thinking that maybe I should actually pick up a sound card for use.
Only ~1% increase in memory or less when foobar is opened and I start playing music.
Oh, audio never lags while I play games only when I am just browsing and using foobar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'd love to resolve this as soon as possible.
