Recently when playing music through my computer, the music itself will speed up, slowdown, and stutter randomly.  This usually precedes an error saying
"Unknown Error. 
Error code: 1  Windows error message:
Undefined external error."
which stops any wav output from playing on my computer.  The only strange temporary solution i've found to work is to have my music output to ASIO instead of WAV, and then switch the output back to WAV.  Could my soundcard be on the verge of death?  Or could this be another problem?

Sounds more like a software issue, what audio player are you using ?
 
Sometimes my 0404 messes up with sampling rate and i have to close any software which is using the card and reset it manually, however if it occurs to you very frequently, you could try to reinstall the emu drivers.

I have been using Winamp and foobar2k - the error happens in both.  In foobar the error reads "Unrecoverable playback error: Unknown error code (0x8889000F)".  I've tried reinstalling the drivers before but I get the same issue.  We had a thunderstorm recently which knocked out power to my computer, and since then my music playback has been acting funny.  I'm thinking the card may have gotten damaged in the storm, at least that's my best guess so far :/

Remove the drivers and reinstall. I would start there...
