It is sharing with USB OHCI driver which is not used currently, and
eth0 which is used. I noticed the effect when I was playing a game
over the network. Without the sound driver loaded the game was
smooth. But when loaded it became jerky and the audio was choppy.
I looked last night for a BIOS setting and there is not one. The USB,
eth0, and sound card seem to be all sharing IRQ 10, and the BIOS knows
about it, but it does not look like I can change its mind. I'll look
again, but there is no obvious "Disable IRQ Sharing" option. Thanks.
What mb do you have? I have an ECS K7S5A. My eth0, USB, and SCSI are IRQ 5. My USB (other port), and sound (SiS 7012) is IRQ 11. I have no problems. Check for an updated BIOS.
