If both are PCI devices, interrupt assignment is done automatically by the PCI BIOS from the interupts not reserved in your PC BIOS for legacy devices or known to be dedicated. You cannot change PCI-assigned interupts. Interrupts serviced through the PCI BIOS are intended to be transparently sharable where the PCI BIOS has assigned the same interrupt to two devices. This works well on most devices, up to and including TV cards.The legacy non-PCI-assigned interrupts must be dedicated, one per device. You can make your unused interrupt 5 available to the PCI BIOS for allocation by making sure the machine BIOS does not have 5 assigned to Legacy. The PCI BIOS assigned interrupts are documented in the second BIOS display page. I hope this helps ... -- Regards, Ron.

Re: [expert] soundcard problem...conflicting irq?
Hmpf. It's the only thing I can think of that would be a cause of the NEW problem...which only actually appeared at some point after an upgrade to 7.2 but it CAN'T be Mandrake 7.2, because... I have an AudioPCI es1371 card and a PCI 3com 3C900B card presently sharing an irq. The soundcard has worked fine in the past, no cricket noises, no problems. I have now found that the same problem occurs under windoze, which made me think the card went bad. I picked up a new card, a soundblaster PCI 128 (drats!!) which isn't well supported under linux, it turns out. Windoze had the same problem with it as with the AudioPCI card it replaced...chirping noises covering most system sounds. I couldn't get it working under linux but since the same problem occurred, AND in a different PCI slot, I guess it isn't the card. I have also tried two separate sets of speakers but that doesn't change anything. I have an AOpen AK72 mobo with athlon 700. The onboard sound is disabled (I would use it if it were possible under linux). This problem with chirping static noises happening when sounds are played is rather new, and doesn't coincide with my original upgrade to this motherboard and cpu. It can't be a linux problem either since it also occurs in windoze. I am stumped. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried different PCI slots, different audio cards, different speakers. I've also tried different kernel builds. Anyone?

All i/o, irq, etc, entries are listed as "-1" and are unchangeable (what good are they if that's all they do?). What is assigning both my ethernet and soundcard the same irq? Both are sharing irq 11.

There is two ways to change:In your motherboards bios menu you manually set pci slots irqs. Or way I did..I change place of my soundcard to another pci-slot... Which caused conflict with network-card...changed again and ...voila' No conflicts anymore. This kind of actions did never happen in LM7.1...What's going on now? I'm afraid seing thist developement going TOO much for "BUG AND PRAY" And just another day I shot with shotgun my WIN98plate...damn.
