Hello Gabbe,

You can check what governor is in use with:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

And set it to a non-scaling governor with:
echo -n performance | sudo tee
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

You can also disable it in your BIOS, it's probably called something
like SpeedStep. More info:

Please post the output of:
cat /proc/interrupts

Did you try other USB ports? Or issueing a:
sudo alsa force-reload
Does that help?
