laptop sound lagging in WoW

It used to work just fine (this is a laptop about a month old), but the past week or so the sound has started to "stutter" when playing WoW. Sound comes out fine in any other application, so it can't be dud speakers. I'm not sure why it's a new development either. I haven't changed anything, or any of my habits. I don't run anything else when I'm playing the game. I do have one mod (econ).
Would this be related to my connection speed somehow? It's my only guess, currently - that my connection speed is fluctuating, and affecting the sound. However, the game itself is unaffected in any other way.
Ideas please?

Laptop sound cards are mainly software driven; and the lag you're experiencing is probably due to lowered available resources.
This is probably not what's happening with your system, but I had the exact same issue on my computer, and I found this was the problem, the Hardware Acceleration had been set to none.
