I've been dealing with this for 3+ years now and I've tried all of these every 
once in a while I'd get annoyed and investigate more hoping things have changed.  
Changing the PCI mode won't help it will just cripple your machine and make the 
problem less obvious but not remove it.  I had to run for 8+ months without E 
cores until #261169 was fixed.

It's most likely something to do with the scheduler though it could be something 
in the audio stack that won't help the other strange hiccups and slowdowns and 
the audio issues may get fixed if those are as well.
