I do not have your sound card I have something you might want to try. Run C:\WINDOWS\system32\dxdiag.exe. Go into the sound part and run the tests. If there is a problem it should tell you. Also try updating to the newest version of directx which is 9.0b. Also what patch level are you running in NWN? You might also want to see if Abit has a bios upgrade. The only reason I say this it that it is built on to your motherboard. I would bet that only has a 5% chance of fixing it though.

One other thing. Right after it happens exit the game and look in Event Viewer. The reason I say this is because I just had my video card go bad on me. I was running XP and from time to time it would hang. I found out when reading event viewer that it was either a video driver or hardware problem. After reloading and the problem not going away I put in a new card and all things are much better now.
