look in /etc/conf.modules (or modules.conf depending on version of modutils) and 
delete any line that has "sound" in it, then re-install the aureal drivers.  It is 
possible that another module is loading before the aureal ones and taking the IRQ.  
Also try switching PCI slots.  Many of your slots will share with USB,IDE etc... and 
while the sound card will happily share an interupt very few other things do.  I've 
found that mine works best in PCI slot 1 just under the AGP slot.  It shares with the 
AGP card but nothing complains.

Hope this helps.

John
