The problem is a bad IRQ selection, that is your Sound Card has preferred and just functional IRQ options, and probably your system has the preferred IRQ used by another device, normally a modem, because usually Sound Cards like IRQ 5, if you change to this IRQ your system will work well.<br />

PS: You have to change the Wave Sound Device, not the MPU.<br />

I forgot to say that maybe you won't be allow to change the IRQ, because you have &nbsp;MVP3 main board and maybe you'll need the VIA IRQ Routing program to allow the change of IRQ, you can get it from VIA or AOpen Website. <br />
