Haven't done compaq's in awhile. Did the deskpro's have internal video/sound? Maybe check in BIOS, as you may have to switch these off.

After you disable the onboard sound chip in bios, check to make sure you didnt install the sound card in a bus mastering slot. Usually IDE 4 and 5 are best location.
-IF you still have the problem you need to try a differant sound card. Let me know what happens.
-Hold down delete on boot up to get to BIOS>
