atherlon2200xp
nriva64
256mb 2300ddr
onboard sound?(now disabled)

Stewart, what operating system are you using? and what model is the new sound card. If you know what you are doing, get into device manager and find out what the IRQ is and what it is sharing with. Sometimes you can change the IRQ with jumpers on the soundcard, but that seems unlikely with a new card. hope this helps

the operating system is win xp home
its a sound card from a comp fair no idea of make ?
there are no jumpers on it
its sharing with the usb controller

See if there is jumpers for your usb controller to auto-detect the IRQ.
I had that same problem with a sound card and a modem.
