I find this mainly occurs when I play music if not only when I play music. It only freezes for like a 10th of a secound but it does it all the time. I don't really know how to describe the sound, but it's obviously really anoying and it effects the picture too. It is still for the same time as the sound messes up so they are deffinately related to eachother and music. Any ideas?

Use this to find out which driver or system event is causing it..

I would be updating drivers and updating any programs that seem to cause this problem.

Yeah I dowmnloaded that and it is displaying exactly what I mean. I don't understand it but I can tell whats hapenning. It stays at around 90 - 200 (is that good?) but every now and then it shoots off the scale to a maximum of 330947! It usually doesn't do it much by itself but when playing music it does it more often and when on youtube and the video is loading it rockets up. What should I do now?

Could be hard to pin down, but try the following:
1) What programs do you use to play music?
E.g. if its just iTunes then try playing some MP3s through WMP instead.
2) Try disabling the "AMD High Definition Audio Device" that will have installed with your 6870.
3) Try disconnecting any FP (audio) headers on your mobo.
4) Update the Foxconn audio drivers that came with your mobo?
5) If your onboard sound is Realtek then you could also try a generic driver from the realtek site (instead of the Foxconn specific driver).
Good luck
