Clint: My IRQ for the sound card is 10 and is shared with the PCI steering IRQ(list below) The intagrated sound is disabled in the system BIOS setup and does not show up in the device manager, I am wondering if it is not just a left over entry since it does not show a status?? How would I change the IRQ assignment for the sound card? Via 4 in one driver pack ...not sure.
