Samsung dvd burner causing audio/video problems

[Meezly1]

I recently bought the samsung tsst corp cd/dvdw sh-s182m, and after installing it i started experiencing an audio and video hiccup every time i played music (mp3) or any kind of video from my hard drive. it sounded like stuttering every second or two. my cpu usage was also up 10% when there wasn't any applications running. i tried updating the firmware (SB02) but that made things worse. the audio/video stutter is now more pronounced, and cpu usage is up 25%. i went into the device manager and disabled the cd/dvdw, which instantly fixed the problems. has anyone else experienced these issues, and been able to fix it?
