The sound card is Creative SB Live! 24 bit.
Bingo. the SB Live is a real old card and it probably struggles with proper HD audio
Ive managed to run 1080 on a laptop thats older and much slower then your PC and It still managed watching full 1080p blu-ray rips just fine with 2GB DDR2, Intel T2300 & X1600MR but the drivers for the X1600 were broken so windows wouldnt use it for hardware acceleration anymore and all the processing was dumped onto the CPU. It didnt 5.1 surround sound or a dedicated soundcard but it did all right.
I purchased a Broadcom Crystal HD decoder card from ebay to offload some of the HD encoding off my CPU and it worked a treat till i eventually decided it was time to sell the laptop.
the Broadcom Crystal HD is a decoder card which helps decode HD video streams meaning you can watch full 1080p on even the weakest intel Atom powered netbook out of the bargain bucket.
It dropped my CPU usage down from constant 70-80% usage on both cores to about 25-30% while watching blu-ray rips.
