I've flipped both "Extra Audio Buffering" and "Aggressive Sound Card 
Buffering" and still haven't gotten it to work (though I don't know if I 
tried setting them to off and on, respectively, so I'll try that later).

Also, I've tested with 4 different sound cards (including 2 
non-integrated, PCI sound cards--and, yes, that means I've used 2 
different mobos).  Both of the PCI sound cards worked fine in my 
previous hardware, so I, too, am thinking it's not an audio issue 
(though I do realize that audio issues are often the cause of 
prebuffering pauses/video playback problems).
