Other replies cover most of the bases, but I'll throw this in, though
it's a long shot. Do you have any active network traffic going on
(especially wifi)? Is your system using any binary/proprietary drivers?
I have had some nasty experiences with a wifi interface using the
proprietary Broadcom driver interfering with audio work in an obscure
manner.

Good luck.
