I’ve been using Windows Vista on my home PC for about two months now and have been fairly happy with it. However, one of the more annoying problems I’ve encountered is choppy audio playback. While listening to my music collection the audio will stutter every few minutes. A quick Google search pointed me toward this post on the Dell Forums. The information on the Dell Forums contains a link to a sound card driver update as well as a possible fix in case the driver update does not solve the problem. The fix is this:

• Open the Control Panel and Click on “Hardware and Sound”
• In the sound category click on “Manage audio devices”
• Right-click on “Speakers and Headphones” and then choose the “Enhancements” tab.
• In the Enhancements tab check the “Disable all enhancements” checkbox and click “Ok” and “Ok” once more to exit.

This seemed to do the trick for me.
