Appreciate the response, regardless. I may have found a solution, I’ll leave the link here for anyone who may run into the same problem in the future…as for which of the methods listed in the link worked for me, I believe it was the registry patch. Even still, not everything is quite perfect…I’ll still notice the occasional rare hiccup if I let a groove ride out long enough, very frustrating, but I’ll take it for now. It could even be my Nvidia Geforce experience, from what this user is saying
