Try the following things (one at a time)

1) Update VIA inf files fron VIA web Site
2) Check your motherboard BIOS settings if htere are choises for the 
emulation of the sound card (soundblaster emulation would be great). Also 
check for settings at half-full duplex, or try enabling or disabling PNP 
operating system (if such an option exists)
3) Try new drivers for Windows 2000 and if you can't find them try for 
Windows NT.
Last from the device manager of Windows 2000 try enabling or disabling 
automatic configurations or even change between the available ones.

I hope i helped you
