That's because the soundcard has a "virtual" parallel port for Sound
Source/Covox emulation. There should be a utility with the card to disable
this emulation. Try running it, and the echoing through the speakers should
stop. IRQ5 would be a good choice for the sound card, but check the IRQ of
the network card!
As for the HP installation software refusing to cooperate, this is probably
down to a shitty install program. Try starting Windoze with Alt held down
to stop any programs in Startup running, then run the printer driver
installation again.
