Hey so you can try a few things. Update your drivers, Re install your operation (last resort), Or check what the audio latency is set at. I have realtek audio aswell and my latency can go as low as 6 but 5 will result in a crash

Right now i use realtek hd audio. Maybe he would be better off using windows audio drivers.
