Audio causes partial lock of Inspiron E1705

Question

Starting 2 days ago any audio (besides the startup sound) causes my system to go into a partial lock. My mouse moves but I can not click on anything. Ctrl, shift, esc will bring up task manager but no other buttons work on my keyboard (except the power button which will shut the machine down if held for 5 seconds). I have tried 2 system restores, uninstalling all audio drivers and reinstalling, antivirus, antispyware, and dell support check with no luck. Inspiron E1705 Sound Blaster Advanced HD sound. Windows XP Media Center Edition
