Probably the via onboard sound. Some time ago I used this same chipset
and I've had serious problems with choping/freezing sound while copying
files from cdrom to hdd.

The problems were present regardless of me using Windows or Linux, so I
suppose that this chipset has some real i/o bandwith issues.
