Do I need a USB hub?

[MiniGiant]

Hey guys, yet again I've got another question. So to start off, what has been occurring on my computer for the past year now, is randomly when I click my mouse quickly or scroll my mouse a lot at once, the audio coming from my computer will become choppy and static like. This continues until I stop scrolling. This only starts to happen randomly, so for days it won't be an issue, then all of a sudden it will come up again. And the only way I've found to fix this is to completely restart my computer. When I look at my CPU usage when this is happening, it shows that the usage goes up to almost 100% at times, making the sound cut out. So I'm wondering if I should get a USB hub to possibly take some stress off my CPU.

Here is the one I would consider getting.
Let me know what you guys think of that one if I should go ahead and get a USB hub.

Thanks in advance everybody

A USB hub will not "offload the CPU". All a USB hub does is share the bandwidth of one port to many additional devices plugged into the hub. And often, that hub on the MB could be shared with other ports too. You'll have to check the MB manual to validate which ports have independence on its own bus.

Try moving your mouse to another USB port on the PC. Also look into updating the chipset and audio drivers. In some cases, there's an actual hardware compatibility issue that can only be solved with using another make/model of mouse. Yes, I know, USB should be USB. In theory, that would be correct. In reality, I've seen it - that some USB devices don't play nice with other hardware...
