CS:GO freeze and sound loop [solved]

[D.exE]

I've made a threat about this before, but then I thought this was a hardware problem. I did have some hardware issues, but it should be fine now. Two of my DIMM slots aren't working anymore, but I've going to return my mobo in a few weeks.

My Setup:
Intel 3930k
Asus Rampge IV Formula
(now) 8GB of Corsair Dominator RAM
Asus Gtx 690
Corsair AX760i
Corsair H100i
Samsung 840 pro series
2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.14
Microsoft Windows 8 64bit

My problem:
CS:GO freezes randomly during a match after 10sec-30min and the sound goes in a loop.

*What I tried so far:
Use the normal bios settings (no overclock)
Disable multicore rendering in CSGO options.
All settings to low/medium.
Verified the game cache.
Reinstalled the game.
Reinstalled steam & the game.
Ran steam as administrator
Checked for driver updates for my gpu (were up to date..)
Cleaned my registry (before installing steam & the game)
Checked for drivers issues and installed drivers from asus and intel.
Played CS:S and this seems to work fine.
Forced CS:GO to run on other versions of directX (although I don't know how to check if it actually does this and didn't try directX 10 yet).
I did a system restore to an older point, before I installed some audio drivers.
Checked all the temperatures which are fine.
Ran memtest on my 2x4GB modules. They passed it 8 times so far without errors.
Unplugged my headset and let sound play through my speakers.

Since I'm going to return my mobo soon, I don't rly want to install windows clean right now. Thats about the last thing I want to do.
Also, I like windows 8 and prefer to keep using it. I know it's not optimal here and there, but it should work fine with the right drivers.
I still think it might be an issue with my headset drivers, since they don't seem compatible with windows 8. It doesn't seem to install a program anywhere, although it does copy files to my C drive. On the site they say it's compatible with all the versions of windows..

Games that seem to work fine:
Counterstrike Source
Team Fortress 2
Battlefield 3
Arma II: Dayz Mod

So what could possibly cause this and what might solve my problems?

*I might have tried some other things already, but this is all I can come up with right now. Also I will keep updating this first post as I try new things to solve this.

///Old threat:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/828933455801787473/

I thought, since I now no long er think it's a hardware problem, that it would be smarter to make a new threat. Also it was pretty long already and not rly organized anymore.

PS: THIS IS NOT THE SAME ERROR AS THE ONE CAUSED BY AN UPDATE IN MAY '14! IT WAS FIXED BY UPDATING MY NVIDIA DRIVERS AND REPLACING MY MOBO/RAM!

I have a AMD Radeon graphics card, so I'm guessing that there's no GeForce Experience?

[EDIT] - NVM it's back, the tip below only worked temporarily.

[EDIT 2] - So it looks like NVIDIA HD Audio made it back onto my computer some how, and it was indeed the problem. I have some visual glitches, but the game does not freeze and hang up after deleting/uninstalling the NVIDIA HD Audio sound driver and disabling the actual onboard hardware driver with devmgmt.msc

[EDIT 3] - Also turned off multicore rendering in a last-ditch effort to fix the graphics issues I was having (that seemed to happen right before sound crash) -- seems to be working. Also moved my sound from 5.1 speakers to headphones

[EDIT 4] - This has been an interesting saga -- I bought a new mid-level GFX card. Other games were crashing too :( Seems like my problem was in deed a bad gfx card

The fix is to uninstall your NVIDIA HD sound driver (if you can -- if it's built into your mobo I don't know what to tell you).

What I did:
- Open up Add or Remove programs in windows (after downloading the latest nvidia drivers I let it install the HD sound thinking "what could it hurt").

- Press Windows+R at the same time, and type in "devmgmt.msc". Look under sound, and remove all mention of NVIDIA HD anything.
