interrupt 5 is not used, nor is 9
Also if your soundcard is an ISA one and your BIOS allow you, you can play with the way BIOS assign IRQ to devices (ISA/PCI or PCI) but this could be a dangerous thing if you don't know what you are doing.
On a normal system interrupts 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 are normally assigned to ISA devices and 14 and 15 to PCI IDE. The rest of them depends of the configuration of the machine.
I usually saw that IRQ 5 or IRQ 9 was used by older soundcards.
ISA soundcard, yes. Like I said earlier in this thread the BIOS is reported as PnP by Linux. Very limited tweaking there--certainly nothing as advanced as setting IRQ's. I'm afraid my only options are to either set a different IRQ on the soundcard using the DOS software (though I see no free IRQ's in range) or to disable ttyS1 (COM 2 as the BIOS sees it, I believe) and see if that relieves any potential IRQ 3 conflict. Possible IRQ's for the card are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15 for "Soundman" and 2, 3, 5, and 7 for "Sound blaster."
i think you can use interrupt 5 or 9 if there's a way to set it
