This started a couple of days ago; beforehand it was never a problem.
In TF2, sometimes even a couple of times a minute the game will get a 2-6 second lag. While I'm not lagging however, the game runs as smoothly as it ever did being close to maxed. It seems mostly cause by sounds being played in-game. A bit of research brought me here -http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1043281-
After disabling my sound card and rebooting, the lag spikes disappeared. Jumping to conclusions, I did the first solution listed about deleting the MMCSS dependability and disabling the service, (which I wasn't supposed to do, as there was an updated solution I was unaware of), but it worked regardless. But that's exactly what that solution was, a temporary fix. Upon rebooting, I found that undoing it, and redoing those steps no longer worked, and the permanent solution listed never worked in the first place.
I guess my question would be what's causing this in the first place, because if I'm correct, what MMCSS is doing which causes TF2 to lag is throttling down the network. Yet, I have this same problem in other games as well, some of them offline (Skyrim). And disabling my sound card causes the lag spikes to disappear.
