I know we've talked about this a while back but not sure if there was ever any resolution. Now I'm starting to notice it much more, even not during gameplay getting intermittent audio clipping/stuttering. When there is no audio playing there is no sound coming out of the speakers so it's not like it's interference. I might isolate the audio board and toss in my own amp and see if that gives any indication of where the issue lies. The only modification I have right now to audio is the new line filter (which I have another of I can toss in just to compare) and have the aux audio unplugged for front headphone from the motherboard, I think that was Steve's suggestion a while back to joseph5185 and myself for testing.
