SoundMax crashes system

[Kirby]

i had been trying to recording some guitar stuff in cakewalk and my onboard sound flips out (stops working, won't record, etc). after several restarts, i finally get it to to work and record, but during playback it crashes my pc.

system:
xp home, service pack 2
intel 4 3.06 hyperthread
512 mb ram
soundmax integrated digital audio

error message:

blue screen bs then....

Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

STOP: 0x0000001(0x49E31D54,0x00000002,0x00000000,0xf75745E5)

smwdm.sys - Address F75745E5 base at F7558000, Datestamp 3d10f1f3


can anyone make sense of this? any hope for sh!tty onboard sound or should i break down and buy a card?
