I am having the same problem as you. The Amd Sata Ahci driver 1.3.1.276 is causing audio stutters. Windows doesn't seem to use it for some reason. Can you post a detailed walkthrough how did you fix the problem? What files I need to move to system32?
Changing the Amd Sata Ahci driver to Microsoft's ahci driver from 2006 fixes the problems too.
I would not be able to help you without details on your system, such as CPU, motherbaord, and windows version.
My issue was cuased by Windows not using a SATA driver for my motherboard, a AM4 playform.
The latest driver for me was a 1.2 driver, you said 1.3, not sure if that was a mistake.
Anyway.
Download the latest chipset from AMD's website for your mobo drivers.
Extract these to a place on disk.
Do *NOT* run the AMD setup, Windows will ignore the driver.
Open Device Manager
Expand IDE ATA/ATAPI
Right Click AMD SATA controller
properties, update driver.
Browse to your [previously] unzipped drivers, there will be a SATA/AHCI/ or RAID folder.
Just select the folder, and be sure to tick the box [Include Subfolders]
Let Windows do its thing, and you'll need a reboot.
If that does not work, you'll have to manually insert the drivers.
For mine, the sata drivers somehow were deny on all permissions, and Windows didn't want to replace them.
I ended up booting from a linux USB, granting permissions and copying the files.
Be sure this driver is compatabile with your system, or it will crash it.
For this, you'll need to boot into safe mode, or use a LIVE CD to drop the files into Windows.
