I have been having audio issues that I can't seem to figure out what they are caused by

My audio is dragging in all applications, for instance Winamp....I load up a song in winamp, and I used to be able to just let it play in the background and have no issues, but lately it drags whenever I open another program or do anything processor involved. I know it shouldn't be doing that, because I have been going months now without it doing this ever, it just started

I even got so frustrated last week and formatted this machine, so this is a fresh install of windows xp with very little on the drive now, the drag is a little better since i formatted, but still doing it every now and then

could it have something to do with the audio drivers? maybe I need to see if there are updated drivers somewhere, but any insight you all have would be much appreciated
