Normally the sound card should use IRQ 5 or 7. If they are free on your system, use either of them for sound card. Boot to window$ and check how the interrupts are shared there. Leave IRQ 10 for USB as you may need it in the future (usb-mouse, printer, etc.) and IIRC it is some sort of recommendation to use that IRQ for USB devices (like 5 or 7 are for sound cards and 3 and 4 for serial devices ). And it's less likely for your system to behave oddly if you keep the config close to specs. Cheers, J. > > > 2.
