Okay not sure how I came across this or what the command even does to make the sound work but this is what I did to fix my stuttering choppy sound on an Asus z97-i plus motherboard with a Realtek ALC892 audio chipset.
1) open a terminal and type sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
2)once open scroll to the bottom and type options snd-hda-intel vid=8086 pid=8ca0 snoop=0
3)Save and exit restart computer no more sound or stuttering issues

Now I am very happy hope this helps someone as it took a lot of reading and searching to find a solution to my problem.
