Sounds like the sound device is sharing an interrupt with another high-data usage device, such as the video card, or network card.

Sound cards do not share interrupts well.

Use the Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Information utility in Windows, expand the hardware listing, and select the IRQ list.

It will show how all the hardware interrupts are assigned.
