BOINC conflicts with DAW applications

I don't know of DAW applications, but did you have set "Do work while computer is in use" in your preferences? If yes, you might want to set it to "no". E@Hseems to be more CPU- (actually FPU-) bound than SETI, so it's usually not advisable to run it beside other applications, especially if they are time-critical. Windows isn't a real-time operating system, so every real-time program needs to tweak it somehow to get it to work as expected. This might conflict with E@H or the idle detction mechanism of BOINC.
