Hi all,
I also am having this problem on my PC (self-built desktop with wifi enabled motherboard), while on my home internet (fast fibre optic). It too began around the same time as this thread was started. I initially thought it must be hardware as I have an external soundcard/monitors, but as you all are having similar issues on very different systems it seems it might well be software/driver related.
I am using a powerful desktop CPU so the usage it doesn't seem to go very high at all, but there is significant distortion and lag when downloading something while sound is playing (whether streaming or in iTunes); the worst of this is when trying to perform an internet speed test. 'System and compressed memory' does seem to go higher than usual, however, so I'm not sure if that's something.
A restart does appear to be a quick fix, but it unfortunately seems to be a recurring issue. Additionally, the chip I am using (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x) doesn't seem to have any recent drivers, so that doesn't seem to be an option.
Has anyone found a solution to this, or are we just going to have to wait on an update?
