WTF Is This and How Do I Kill It ....
It's streaming random fucking audio ad's and it's seriously pissing me off ....
.No add-ons running to account for it; IE is closed/not running. TDSS Killer finds nothing; Malwarebytes finds nothing.
Started this morning for no known reason.
Only 'suspect' site I visited in the past several days was a news site .... Salon.com or Huffington or some similar ad infested news/magazine site.

Whiskers has some terrific steps to do. But, if you are really stuck, download HijackThis and post an image of the results (don't remove anything). One of us can take a peek to see what is up with your PC.
Otherwise, a refresh of your computer is not the worst thing to do. Just time-consuming.

I've only seen NPE work once for me, btw it gives a lot of false positives so don't go removing everything it finds.
I've had fantastic success with ESET Sirefef cleaner lately! Try that shit!

Might be an variant of Happili...
Last I knew, both MBAM and MS Safety Scanner both detected it.
Check your %appdata% and %temp% folders for any .dll files. Delete them if they are there. Make note of the file name before deleting and then do a registry search for that file name.

What do the '%' mean .... I've got dozens of dll's in appdata. Which temp and/or appdata folders exactly?
TDSS Killer
Malwarebytes
SuperAntiSpyware
ComboFix
All fail .... nothing detected/deleted except a few ad tracking cookies.

Search for the AVG Boot CD. Download the image, burn to a CD & boot off it. It bypasses windows & runs a Linux shell scan. Updated it & select the threats you want it to detect. Will take a good hour. Delete any files it finds. Reboot.

Not yet. I've downloaded enough 'crap' already. But it's on the list. I did, however, do a restore to last week .... not for the issue per se, but for the issues I created trying to eliminate this piece-of-shit malware.
And since the restore .... no issue ....
....

OK, I admit, it's funnier today ....
