Ok, lets say I have "proven" problem. Actually the problem is with the mobo and the chipset (it is SiS, and there are some problems), but I guess if I can move the sound on another irq, it'll work ... so, what's the way to change the assigned irq by the driver/kernel?
Hi Sunny,
Would you care to share the mainboard model and chipset numbers (and revision, if appropriate?) I apologize in advance if you've posted this already, but I sometimes seem to have a very 'twitchy' delete key finger! ;-)

Hi Carl, the machine is Compaq Presario SR1710NR, Sempron 3400+, Asus mobo with SiS chipset ASUS A8AE-LE. Here is a link to mobo specs on hp site: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=1817035&docname=c00496280 So, the problem is that the APIC kernel support for this mb is kind of shaky. Most of the devices (incl. sound, network, etc.) share the same IRQ. Even if I disable the onboard sound and put another one (tried with PCI and USB), it hooks up them to tre same IRQ. And I can not use the mike - it breaks after 2-3 sec of working, I tried skype, and other recording programs. I tried both 64 and 32 bit SuSE 10, Knoppix 32 bit. It is always the same. I know from the kernel lists that there is a problem with the APIC support for some SiS mobo's, so I hope that if I can set the IRQ for the sound to something else, it may work.
