Stuttering Issues is it sound related?

[Faul]

I very often experience stuttering during the game.

It got worse a number of times when I was experiencing high latency but it's not just high latency.

It gets worse by the time, it gets worse faster when there are players around. Restarting the game temporarily fixes it making the game run VERY smooth for sometime even in very crowded areas. But being in a crowded area makes the stuttering restart faster.

I causes things in game not to happen to my client in real time and because it resets with a game restart it doesn't to be latency related. It makes it harder to get out of AoEs when the game is stuttering. So before some dungeon bosses I usually restart the game and it gets fixed for a while.

I have noticed sounds also start stuttering. It's weird as it seems something that syncs the video to the sound and not the other way around it.

I suspected sound problems could be related to the onboard sound card, Realtek, despite having the latest drivers installed, but my brother also reported something similar and he also said that once the game did not start stuttering but no sound was playing, but he has a soundblaster xi-fi. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?
