A sound card would probably help, since it is a different sound card, but that doesn't mean that there is something wrong with your on-board one. It is probably some driver misbehaving, the first thing I would do is re-install the sound drivers from your motherboard cd, or check their site for updated drivers.

I've got MSI Gaming 5 Z97 with the same sound chipset Realtek ALC1150 and works without a problem. Have you tried "Latency" slider in Audio options? Is it only AC related?
