    Unhappy Audio Skipping in Vista

    Hi guys, I need help with a problem that is driving me insane!

    Everything was fine with my machine a few days ago, but something, somewhere changed and now whilst playing music, a YouTube video or a normal video the sound 'pops' like an old record.

    And if I open a new tab in Firefox, my CPU goes to 100% and the music skips.

    I haven't even changed anything on the system and it's like I have a 10 year old machine all of a sudden.

    I've tried:

    Virus Scanning
    Disabling everything running
    Changing audio drivers
    Changing wireless drivers
    Changing virus scanner
    Changing soundcards (I normally run Realtek HD onboard sound. But the Santa Cruz had the same problems).

    The weird thing is that on a cold boot, everything is fine for a while... and then the pops and skips start.

    This problem is killing my enjoyment of music... I didn't realise I was so dependant on it!

    Please help! *weep*
