No. The HLT has nothing to do with your sound card.
1. Download latest drivers.
2. Move the sound card to a different slot.
3. Buy a good sound card.

OP
trust me, is the HLT. i tried in win98 with some program and i've got the interference with HLT on. soundcard is built on the motherboard and i've got no free slot to buy a card
I don't know how to disable the HLT instruction but have you tried running one of those background tasks such as Seti@home or the RC5 client? Either off these tasks basically use the CPU whenever it is NOT being used by anything else so practically eliminate the HLT instruction. When I look at my system idle process under task manager in the last 72 hrs of running time there have been 71.32.14 hrs of RC5 client and 1.12.43 of system idle process.
