Greetings everyone..

So this has been an unending nightmare, it all started when i noticed that there are annoying sound lag spikes while playing music/movies/games etc... i searched until i found a program called LatencyMon, tried it and here's the result :

Your system appears to be suitable for handling real-time audio and other tasks without dropouts. 
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for  0:03:02  (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

CPU SPEED
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reported CPU speed:                                   2500.0 MHz
Measured CPU speed:                                   2009.0 MHz (approx.)

Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   236.343096
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   4.108497

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs):       189.647927
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs):       1.300708


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 REPORTED ISRs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

Highest ISR routine execution time (µs):              36.69480

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED DPCs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

 REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

Process with highest pagefault count:                 mom.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults                       26
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process:          7
Highest hard pagefault resolution time (µs):          22682.44520
Total time spent in hard pagefaults (%):              0.040821
Number of processes hit:                              8

Used to tell me that i was having problems in the report but i stopped just before i wanted to post this thread...weird.
After disabling wifi adapter :

Clipboard03.jpg

Although even after doing that i still get the same voice lag....

I'm using TP-LINK TL-WN321G wi fi adapter, tried using another one but the problem remainds..

Using 2 old routers, one is which a d-link 502t which doesn't have wireless, and the other is a linksys wag354g access point, both connected with eachother, been using them since forever and that problem didn't happen before so i don't think that's the problem here...
