You can pick up a more-than-adequate Creative Audigy for $50, tops.

In the meantime, turn hardware acceleration down/off. It may help.
The dude said he had an X2, no?

I think in this instance the CPU can probably handle the overhead.

That said, the actual on-board sound implementation is likely ac97, which is just trash. So, yes, I'd still get an Audiogy. Sounds actually lag out SH3 for me with on-board ac97. Quite sad.
