Art, What does checking that box do?
I will try looking for updates too.

Psst, I'm not Art.
Checking that box tells it to playback audio using the older waveOut API instead of the newer DirectSound. DirectSound uses hardware acceleration, where all of the mixing in waveOut is done with software.
It seems to me that your audio device doesn't want to play nice with DirectSound. If updating drivers for it doesn't help, switching to waveOut could be worth a try.
