Perhaps you should back up a bit, and explain your problem a bit more..
What program are you using to play music?
System specs, etc.
I just opened Windows Media Player and started to play a list of mp3 files.
My CPU usage went up as high as 90 %, but the music sounds just fine.
Using Process Explorer, I saw that wmplayer was using 30-40%, and
searchindexer was using 40-50%.
After the indexer stopped, the CPU usage dropped to less than 20%, with
wmplayer using less than 1 %.
audiodg uses less than 1 %.
