try getting the latest directX ? it's up to DX9 now, but if you can find dx 8.1 - which i think is AH's suggested minimum.
could be conflicts with the vid card, never heard of hit, nor do i know how you have your system set up. check for IRQ conflicts.
also try lowering sound acceleration a notch.
some others have reported plms (and fixes?) with VIA chipsets.
try emailing support@hightechcreations.com you might get a quicker response.

Update directX to at least DirectX version 8.1b which is now the minmum required for AH - DirectX9 is available so go for that.
Make sure you have the latest drivers for the AC97 realtek codec for the onboard sound and install them.
Run the directX diagnostics and turn down the hardware acceleration in the sound section at least one notch left. If you are getting an error message here on test re: hardware buffers you need later drivers.
Your video card doesn't seem to have much memory on board! You need a better video adaptor. :)
