Be sure your video drivers and particularly your audio drivers are up-to-date.
Update motherboard firmware if you are using on-board sound.

Update motherboard firmware if you are using on-board sound.I have done everything. BIOS updated, on board sound drivers updated, used 320.49 all the way to 331.93 beta video drivers, run the game in 32bit and 64bit mode, unparked CPU cores, updated directx installed the included C++ , updated punkbuster and even deleted and reinstalled the game. I have even overclocked my CPU to run at 4.2GHz using the ASUS turbo mode in the BIOS.
I am currently using the latest 331.93 beta drivers and 32bit mode but the stutter is still there, only reason I am using the beta drivers is I am sick of the driver notification pop up they put on the game launch which if you afk while sitting in queue and miss the notification you are disconnected from joining the game.
If I switch back to 320.49 video driver the game plays very smooth with very little to no sound stutter (it is still there, just hardly noticeable) BUT I have to deal with the glitched textures in some maps and the annoying driver notification popup before the game can launch...
Something is seriously wrong with the sound coding as this has happened back when BF3 came out but was fixed 3-4 months later and yes BF3 plays perfectly on ultra for me now. BF4 plays decently but the sound stuttering is driving a lot of people crazy and needs to be fixed much sooner then it was fixed in BF3.
The devs need to pay closer attention to the community and different systems as they clearly haven't optimized the game for all system specs.
