Try unloading and reloading via82xxx_audio. I tried to help a friend in our user group a while back and they had that problem with a via chipset, a SB live and RH7x maybe 7.2 IIRC. When I seached google a lot of people had the same driver problem. We fixed it by installing W2000( not my idea!). You could also try using the alsa drivers.
A lockup like that sounds like a possible IRQ conflict. Is PNP enabled?
