It would appear that there is no response from intel on this matter. Its been 5 months since this thread was started and more than enough detail has been provided to warrant a response other than "this problem has been reported". I guess the problem is with the 82579LM and 82579V onboard NIC drivers. I ventured to guess that poor design of the board left the audio components unisolated from the noisy ones and thus caused latency and interference with audio playback. However after testing using the 3.5mm audio out and mic in jacks with my Cloud HyperX Headset I've determined no problems with audio playback on the front panel audio or rear audio jacks. This is strictly related to audio playback via USB and a soundcard. Doesn't matter what soundcard I use, playback to the speakers is unbearable. Constant audio interrupts in the form of crackling, popping, hissing, etc. I've tested the same speakers (JBL LSR2325) and my soundcard (Traktor Audio S4) on another desktop and laptop with a different onboard NIC and had no problems at all. So I'm back to my initial suspicion, that the drivers for the 82579V are the culprit. Please help Intel!
