Since around the time I upgraded my video card, I have noticed the Audio seems to skip for half a second about every 2 minutes. The interval varies by up to about 20 seconds. It occurs when playing TV shows, DVDs, music, etc. On some files it does not seem to happen at all (I haven't noticed it happen yet on an .mkv file?). Also the same files played fine before the video card change. Happens in XBMC only.
I have no idea what is causing this, but its very annoying...any ideas on what to try?
I've done some testing/troubleshooting already, no fix from any of these things:
• Checked xbmc.log for the exact second a skip occurred and there is nothing displayed in the log for that time (log is below anyway)
• Reinstalled latest video card drivers
• Tried both WASAPI and DirectSound for Audio Output
• Tried disabling all the receiver options in audio output
• Tried many different files, both 5.1, stereo, videos, mp3s etc. Also tried a DVD and the issue was still there. On some files the issue does not ever seem to happen (I haven't had noticed it happen on .mkv files?)
• Playing the same video file over and over, the skip does not occur at the exact same spot (for example, happens at 1:49, next time might be 1:56)
Here is a link to the full XBMC log. (note I started testing this issue by playing various video files around time 15:08 in the log. I was also updating/scraping my library during this time and that shows a number of scraping errors in the logs. If a "cleaner" log is needed, I can test this again while not updating the library but the issue occurs whether or not the library is being updated.)

Any help, possible solutions, info, or similar experiences would be extremely helpful. Thank you!
