My audio playback (streams and cd's both) have recently started to intermittently skip for a few seconds at a time. Typically the track will play without problem for the first two minutes or so and then skip for a few seconds, resume normal playback and then skip for a few seconds, etc.

I am running windows vista premium and creative labs xtreme gamer sound card. I refreshed the driver and replaced the soundcard with no improvement.

Problem occurs in Rhapsody, Windows Media Player, Itunes, and on CD playback.

Any help would be much appreciated

It sounds like a driver problem, but you might be able to mitigate this by turning up the process priority in the task manager. Open up the task manager with Control Alt Delete and right click on whatever program is playing your music. Change the priority level from normal to Above Normal or High, and see if this makes things run more smoothly.
