Sound card hanging system

I don't know if this is software or hardware related, but it's very
annoying.

If I 'hotplug' an audio cable - even one carrying no signal - into my sound
card, the entire system hangs, hardware reset needed; for example, just
plugging headphones in will cause it to hang.

I've thought, tried to measure possible voltage differentials, there just
doesn't seem to be a logical reason.

Some system details:
XPPro, SP3
Asus CUSL2C motherboard
Audigy 1 running latest creative drivers

On the same topic, is it possible to have two soundcards installed
concurrently?

TIA
Rob
 
Yes, you can have two.

The sound device is either broken, or needs a better driver.
