I have the SoundBlaster 5.1 card in my Iyonix. I use
DigitalCD as my main music player. I haven't experienced
the machine freezing. However...

This may not be related what did you use to
get/convert your soundtracks to your Iyonix? I used to
have problems with MP3 files popping and squeaking and
freezing when I converted them. Since using !FFmpeg as
a conversion tool, however, all seems well.

Just a thought.
