I have a 9.2 system here where the network card(Realtek 8139) and the on-board sound have the same IRQ.

I would like to move the Ensonique on-board sound device to another IRQ but do not know how. What is the 'correct' IRQ for sound devices? I think it was 15 but I would prefer to leave te ide items alone.
Would moving eth0 to a different PCI slot help?
It's worth trying.
On the PCI-bus, IRQs and other hardware resources are assigned by Plug-and-Play. This is not always the case on the ISA-bus, which is why the BIOS on systems with ISA-busses will let you reserve IRQs and DMA ports for non-PnP ISA cards.
As to your soundcard and your network sharing an IRQ, it shouldn't really be a problem. I don't understand why it doesn't matter on Linux and yet it does in Windows, sorry. Its something about the hardware after all. Does it not mean that I cannot use the sound and the network at the same time as
Well I am going to try messing in th BIOs first but after that....:) they both have the same IRQ to talk to the CPU?
