Before you throw away your sound card, you may want to open your system and
install it into another PCI slot.
Often the a PCI slot may be sharing an IRQ with another device which is
spending too much time handling IRQ requests causing the freezing...
Simply moving the card can often cure this problem.
Give it a shot, you have nothing to loose.
Let me know if you have any luck.

Subject: [newbie] Sound card recommendations?
I'm tired of Linux freezing up when I play sound using my Aureal
Storm Platinum and I want to replace it.
What would you recommend as a replacement ? It has to be at least
as fully featured as the Aureal Vortex 2, and _fully_ compatible with
Mandrake.
Any suggestions?
Thanx.
