Not totally, no. cat /pro/interrupts shows only PAS16 assigned to IRQ 3. But dmesg output has ttyS1 using IRQ 3. It's a bit confusing to me. I assigned it IRQ 3 because previously, when checking cat /proc/interrupts output I was not even seeing 3 listed. There's nothing hooked to ttyS1 btw. I suppose it's one of the machine's 2 serial ports.
This could be the problem. Interrupt 3 is allways assigned to serial port afaik.
Try to use another interrupt for the sound card.
There's no other available IRQ as far as I can tell. I do have the option of turning off the port in the BIOS which, I suppose, could affect things. Before trying anything like that though I should mention that sound played through this card from the CD is flawless (or as flawless as sound from an old soundcard playing through dimestore speakers can be). It's only when trying to play from sound apps with music stored on the harddrive that I get the distortion I've been describing. Still think it's an IRQ problem?
