I have a 9.2 system here where the network card(Realtek 8139) and the on-board sound have the same IRQ.
I know this because it is mentioned when I boot the machine on the listing of the HDDs cofigured in the BIOS. In addition RTFM indicated that the procinfo command shows the IRQs, relevant details pasted below:
irq 0: 1495304 timer irq 9: 690 uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd irq 1: 1881 i8042 irq 10: 14983 eth0, Ensoniq AudioP irq 2: 0 cascade [4] irq 11: 0 acpi irq 3: 102 irq 12: 37136 i8042 irq 4: 8 irq 14: 13890 ide0 irq 6: 14 irq 15: 18097 ide1
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?
I thought sound cards normally defaulted to IRQ5 You might be able to change the IRQ settings through the BIOS. I seem to recall that on some BIOS's the IRQs are locked down but can be altered. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== PLEASE DON'T drink and drive it's not clever, it's just stupid.
