    Cant see anything obvious in the dxdiag , apart from there is a newer bios A10 available and yours is A07, have you monitored temps at all , heat may contribute to symptoms like static as well 

    What other things have tried out to date ?

    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\swtor   with the game closed and delete the file called diskcachearena  (just that file) a new one will be auto created on next launch

    have you tried adjusting the sound side of things, for IDT 92HD sound go into its properties and then the advanced tab see if adjusting to say studio level has any affect on this.

Sure! 

It consistently happens during conversations, (though all animation moves normally) and sporadically in the background.

    Sorry I didn't respond sooner.

    Adjusting the sound helped a bit, more then I expected.

    Did NOT know that heat would create static, but it turns out that it is in fact, the heat (the temp goes to (at max) 90 F when playing).

    Thanks for the help. REALLY appreciate it.
