he could always try running it at the stock frequencies.
yes, the higher bus can mess up the sound card.


usually sound cards are not as tolerant to the higher bus as say the new video cards, but thats a problem that could be caused by the higher bus or not. first thing is trying it out at the stock system speed, then make sure he got all the adjustments fine like balance and EAX controls, and all the cables are hooked up properly.
follow the regular troubleshooting procedure if everything fails. make sure thats not an IRQ issue or some kind of a bug, test different drivers etc.

VIA has a good FAQ in the case he got a VIA chipset.

What's your FSB/PCI clock divider ? Or do you have a locked PCI bus ?
Sound cards should generally support a PCI speed up to 42 mhz, clockledd higher they might get damaged.
