Question

Type of issue: DPC Latency spikes due to Driver issues
Brief Description of Issue: Probably gonna sound like a broken record showing up here with another problem after fixing the last, but this one should ideally be much simpler.
I've been experiencing brief and sporadic audio glitches in youtube videos, playing games, and listening to people in online chats but don't seem to experiencing any profound lag. I run through a bunch of forums and decide to do an DPC Latency test, find that something is causing it to spike at points up to 6000 or more, causing the audio glitches. I use windows analyzer tools and command prompts to analyze my drivers, and I find the one that is undoubtedly showing to spike to insane amounts compared to the others.
Its a driver called ndis.sys. After consulting a Driver Reference Table, I found that its the NDIS 6.20 Driver, which is from a Windows Update, which would explain why it just started happening after I loaded updates again. Its a driver that seems to govern networking and connectivity, and seems to have come out in a crappy shape.
So my question is this now that I think I've identified the problem driver: do I change out this driver for an older version or newer version, and how would I go about doing that? Or how else do I go about fixing this issue?
I have a windows 7 x64 bit btw.
