My Video and Audio are Rivals? [PC Problem]

So... I've had a bizarre problem for a while, and I figure I should finally find a way to get it fixed. Here's how my computer reacts to various situations:
-Playing a video that's downloaded on my computer, full-screen or not: Video is fine, audio is fine
-Playing a video that I'm streaming online, not full-screened: Video is fine, audio is fine
-Playing a video that I'm streaming online, full-screened: Video is fine, audio has static.
-Playing a computer game in windowed mode and listening to Pandora: In-game video and audio is always fine. Pandora audio becomes laggy and literally slows down when I'm looking at something in game that requires a lot of video processing (like an entire forest) but then the audio speeds back up and becomes clear if I look straight down, which requires less video processing I imagine.
-Playing a streaming video in one window of Firefox while surfing the forums in another window of Firefox: No static noises unless I try to resize the forums-window, which causes text realignment.
I don't get it. Why is this static & lagginess only impacting my computer when it does a lot of video processing? Why does it only do it for the online audio but not the downloaded or in-game audio? It's not like the video isn't fully buffered before I play it. What's with the static? That doesn't sound like a fighting-for-resources symptom at all.
My computer is very well upgraded, and I run on 24 inch wide-screen monitor (in case size of monitor matters). My computer was recently defragged, Ad-aware scanned, and I checked all the drivers.
Help!
