Audio driver ctoss2k.sys is causing excessive DPC lag and music playback
is not smooth. How can I solve it?

My audio card is an Auzentech x-fi prelude and I have the latest drivers
installed, on windows 7 64 bit. Running a trace showed that ctoss2k, it's
driver, was causing the most latency by an order of magnitude, which
apparently is causing my audio to occasionally skip and stutter.
Is there any combination of card settings to change/enable/disable,
changing the sample rate etc, that would solve the problem? And otherwise,
are there any third party drivers that would fix the issue?
(The procedure I followed for running the trace is here)
