Gramophone and radio problem

There is a long ongoing controversy over on-board sound vs a dedicated sound card, much as with video cards. I have had some problems with "hesitation" - the game freezing for a second or so - when somebody in-game speaks. Also, I get an occasional stutter when watching a movie or listening to music. To be fair, another player with the exact same setup told me he has no problems of that nature.

I don't know how good the RealTek system is, and maybe I'm wrong in wishing that I had a dedicated sound card, but that is where the problem, or at least the idea of a problem, comes from.
