After quite a bit of testing, I have discovered (through Latencymon; super-high DPC Latency) that my Intel Centrino Wireless 6200 and Intel Gigabit Network Connection are causing pops/crackling and intermittent dropout during audio playback (Latitude E6400).

The only way I can get clean audio is by uninstalling both, which obviously isnt a long term solution.

Anyone have any ideas/potential solutions?

I have heard that "power management" within the bios and nic could cause these problems but dont want to just turn them off when I am not exactly sure what that will do...
