Realtek Sound Card Problem

Dear all,
I've got a problem with my sound card and wondered if you could spare a
moment and help me out.
The problem is that while playing a music or a video clip, the sound
frequently freezes for a second, i.e. still playing that particular
tone, and then it continues normally. Meanwhile the CPU usage shots up.
If I execute sth while playing, this happens more frequently.
My system:
Sony VAIO laptop VGN-FS285H - Pentium M Centrino 1.73 GHz - Realtek
High Def. Sound card -WinXP-Pro-SP2

I have installed/reinstalled:
- Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for high Definition Audio (Tried both
KB835221 and the newer KB888111)
- Realtek High Definition Audio Driver
- Latest DirectX

But the problem still persists. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance for taking the time to response.
Kind Regards,
Masood

PS: I also have WinXP-Home and FC5 installed in my computer; both of
them are OK.

Go to realtec web page,download the latest drivers/software,set it/them on
desktop,open device mgr,expand the sound tree to realtec hardware,R.click,
select uninstall,do this for all realtec,close out (dont restart
pc),shutdown pc.
On restart,xp will reinstall,then open youre downloads.....

Maybe try it in another player (assuming your using Media Player) to see if
the problem persists. Start/run mplayer2 may be a good test.

The specific program doesn't cause the problem. I've tried many other
software.
The sound card seems to cause the problem, since under heavy
processing, even standard Windows clicks and sounds behave the same.
Thanks for your response anyway.
