Mine is doing the same thing, though I usually don't loose audio. Seems to not do it while watching "live TV", so I find that odd. I do think it's hard drive though. And other than having to set up your machine again, the good news is that a new hard drive will likely cure it, and you can go bigger with the replacement if you like.
