Soundcard Freezing Comp

[Julius]

Hey I have the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Soundcard installed in my pc. It works but for some reason after a while it freezes my computer and makes a zzzzz sounding if im playing audio.
When I uninstall it this never happens any ideas?

All drivers are current.

Try it in another PCI slot.

I tried that also. A person over at m-audio , said that it may be interferring with my internet somehow. Any ideas?

What does it do if you disable it in device manager? (other than not play sound)

Does nothing , everything will run fine without it.
