David - I got some info that suggests your problem is teh combo of ATHLON chip w/VIA chipset and SOUNDBLASTER LIVE! or Audigy cards
From a Gamespot piece on the new SB Audigy:
Unfortunately for owners of AMD Athlon systems who use VIA chipsets, the new Sound Blaster Audigy cards have many of the same compatibility problems as did the previous Live! line. Soon after we installed the Audigy, our Athlon experienced audio and system hangs, background audio popping, and many crashes. Only a full upgrade and subsequent tweaks of the system BIOS stabilized everything. This may be more work and risk than many gamers are willing to bear.
