Weird PC sound problem

So a couple weeks ago I got a new CPU and motherboard, an E6700 3.20Ghz and an ASUS P5KPL-AM EPU. When I upgraded I ended up getting rid of my old Soundblaster Live! sound card, and now am using onboard sound, a VIA HD 1708 chip.
After the upgrade I started noticing that the sound would go out of sync sometimes. I first noticed it using Netflix streaming, but it happens in pretty much everything. In Netflix, or YouTube, videos there's usually a little crack or hitch sound, and then the audio is de-synced. When just listening to MP3s sometimes if I press stop the song keeps going for a half a second or so. It happens in games and in doing stuff in Windows: sound effects will be a half-second or so behind their associated actions.
The problem always seems to come and go; sometimes only lasting for a few minutes and other times forcing me to reboot entirely. I've made sure my sound and video drivers are up-to-date. The problem seems so broad and random that I'm not even sure where to begin looking to fix it.
