I had awful problems on my laptop with the built-in Soundblaster and then awful problems on my desktop with that awful built-in Realtek stuff. I then dug through my box of pulled equipment and found an "older" SB FX card and it works fine.
Powerful machines do help with this stuff though for processing and so does a good sound card. I still think this is power management-related, because I have turned it off on my desktop for everything except the displays, and I have very few problems on my desktop like I did before. Your Mac may handle peripherals differently due to driver and OS differences.
This is fun stuff, yeah right! I used to be a hardware technician then later IT support guy before I retired so this stuff is still in my blood.
