Streaming Audio Lagging (Unusual Bug)

Question

I have a swf, which loads external movies, each external
movie has its own layer in the time line which contains an audio
file, the audio is not being used with actionscript, it is just
sitting there and plays with the "stream" option enabled in the
properties bar.
What I have found is that, when going from one scene to the
next scene within the loaded swf, the audio will overlap, that is,
the audio doesn't finish when it is supposed to, or the audio for
the next scene will play before the current scene is finished.
Has anyone encountered this problem before, or, have they
found a way or know a way to fix this? Perhaps something could be
done to 'sync' the audio with the timeline at the end of every
scene, maybe some function could be called that gets the audio and
does something to it to make it re-sync?
I am really out of ideas. I have tried getting the next scene
to have a delay of 9-15 frames, and that seems to have worked, but
what happens is if I am running the swf, then open an app up or do
something that uses a lot of cpu power, the flash file that is
running will start to lag from that point onwards. Now, if the
program or process that I was running in the background is now
closed or goes away , the lag in flash remains! Even for new scenes
that I use or even new loaded swf files, the lag stays! I close the
swf, reopen it and the lag is still there, I close flash, and
reopen flash, then test hte movie out again, and the lag is still
there.
If you don't run another intensive process in the background,
or open another application, the audio doesn't lag and everthing
works fine.
If anyone has any idea's about this, please share.
BTW, I use an Athlon XP2600+ and the CPU usage is low when
running this swf file...

Ah I understand. Well here's what I managed to HUNT down
This issue was posted on this very forum on April 15th which can be found HERE.
If you look at reply #3 you can see that member has the same computer I had (HP desktop with beats audio).
I remember trying what he suggested and it actually worked...for a small while.
When the issue came back, I continually tried to enable/disable the Beats audio in hopes of fixing the issue.
Sometimes it would work immediately. Other times it wouldn't work at all.
The member in post #3 is probably right in that this may be related to the audio driver on some computers.
Now, I just got a Dell XPS8700 and I haven't gotten the issue yet.
Of course I've only been using it for a day or so but so far so good.
The HP desktop I was using is going to my friend.
He will be using it to work on our show so essentially he'll have to deal with the headache lol.
What bothers me the most is that I get these Flash CC updates pretty often and each time I think it's fixed, it's not.
To add insult to injury when you get a Flash CC update through Adobe CC you'll see a link below the update that you would THINK would show you the changes that were made but it doesn't...it just goes to the default Flash CC webpage...sigh.
I personally think it's down right hilarious that so many paying customers could have an issue like this and Adobe just sits back and counts their money.
Guess our cries for help are being drowned out by the money counting machines...
