I've never had one running hot and disrupting anything AFAIK. Chances are you won't find any software to stress test your sound card as it's probably not needed. Some cards with built in effects might act differently, but I've never heard of one causing a problem... You can get software to test speaker placement and other stuff like that if you're dying to fiddle though
