Audio lag and distortion

$

Hello,

Here is a common problem that many have/had and I'm looking for a solution to hopefully fix mine.

I'm running Windows 7/64 on a Dell Inspiron 518 dual core processor.

When I attempt audio playback on files or online sound it distorts and lags. I know this is a problem that many others have but the solutions offered have not worked for me so far.

When I run DPC Latency Checker I get solid red. I have disabled each device one by one. When I disable the Network Adapter (Netgear WNA1100 N150 wireless usb adapter) 'many' of the reds turn to low greens. I have tried different wifi usbs and various driver updates but nothing changes. If I disable the Net Adapter sound improves but then again no internet. I have no way to connect direct via cable. I have also tried moving devices i.e. external HDs, printer & usb sound system to different USB connections but still the same. Clock time also slows down even though the battery was recently replaced.

This has been happening for about 4 weeks and cannot figure out why all of a sudden.

I've run malwarebytes and other diagnostics but no change.

I'm usually good at fixing all my pc problems but this one is truly a mind bender.

Any new ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Would really like to get my sound back to normal without the crackling and lagging again.

Thanks in advance.:confused:
