It's because when you raise the FSB, it also increases the PCI bus speed unless you have a PCI lock. Depending on the PCI device, they may stop working properly when the speed gets too high. If thats the case, then you either need to get a motherboard with a PCI lock, lower your overclock, or use a different sound card (like integrated).

What sound card are you using? You would be taking your chances by getting a new PCI sound card, since it very well might happen again. What you could try is getting an external USB sound card.
