Windows Srvr 08 R2 as workstation: streaming audio issue

I'm using Windows Srvr 08 R2 as a workstation and have it configured to look
and feel like windows 7, however, I'm having streaming audio and/or video
issues. I do a lot of online meetings and use a VIOP softphone for my
business. The problem is that as the content comes streaming through, every
few minutes it starts stuttering. For example, when listening to someone
across the VIOP line they will be talking, then the sound starts to break
up, then the sound bites will repeat themselves ("bla bla
lalalalalalalalalala...... bla"). All of these tools and services have
been running fine for a very long time, then last week I reformatted my
vista 64 machine and installed windows 2008 rs. Everything runs much better
now (no crashes so far...!) except for this issue. Since I depend on online
meetings and the VIOP softphone for my business, is there anything I can do
to resolve this issue?

Many thanks!

Did you install the correct motherboard and audio drivers? And make sure the
motherboard BIOS is up-to-date? Or it might be an audio codec issue;
although old, the ones from might help.
Have you tried re-installing the VOIP software? Have you checked to see if
it should run on Server 2008 R2?
