I, too, had an issue with NWN and my sound card, before I got a SoundBlaster. It was so bad, it caused numerous lock-up's in the game.
What I had to do was disable hardware and 3D sound support in the game, using the NWN control panel you can run, before actually getting into the game, and then I selected the Miles Fast 2D sound option, once I got into the game.
Also, I think I might have switched the hardware acceleration down a notch or two, on the Performance tab of my system's audio devices control panel – just as an extra measure. (Or maybe I tried doing this one first, but it didn't work so well. I can't remember.)
