Sound drops during game play
As the title says, my sound drops whenever I play a game on my PC, so I turn the volume up & 20 mins later it blasts out because the sound has reset or is back to its normal level.
This seems to happen is every game, I use a Realtek Onboard HD as my sound but I also went and bought a 7.1 Soundcard (Speedlink Stage 7.1) and it did the same issue, I then installed the Speedlink into my wifes other quad core PC & it is working fine, not a single issue or drop.
I have ever asked some tech guys, who said it may be my AV or programs like "Steam" running in the background, but the wife uses "Steam" also with zero effects, we both use the same AV/security (COMODO Internet Security), and again she has no problems.
I use Cambridge soundworks 5.1 speakers as does the missus.
Is it my new i7 (2600k)? I know there was problems with Intel.
Thank you in advance,

Edit: I ran HwinInfo that I found here, and I have 2 drivers under "Audio", could this be my problem?
