I previously stated the ViBRA16 was in the slot closest to the PCI slots; it was actually in the slot farther from the PCI slots. Oddly enough, the card is still interrupting on IRQ5 but everything works great now...Well, for the most part. Sound doesn't just "skip" any more, but when scping a file the sound playback slows down a bit/gets a bit "murky." I can live with the sound output this way. Thanks, Josh
