sound system won´t do full duplex

Good question.  Perhaps you can tell us a little more about your system
so that we can do more than make a wild guess:

What sound hardware do you have?
What "sound system" are you restarting?
How, exactly, do you know "the CPU overloads?"
What error messages are displayed when [the sound system] aborts?
Why are you restarting the sound system?
What changes are you making to try and obtain full duplex sound?
Does your sound hardware actually claim to support full duplex anywhere?

Possibly.  If your modern system has an integrated on-motherboard device
(which, typically, are cheap and crappy) then it could perform
significantly less well than a PCI connected device in the lower-spec
machine.

You didn't give us nearly enough information about either the new or old
setup for us to be of much help though.
