I'm not sure why you're asking this, but here goes ... I am able to change the irq on the SB16 card to any of 4 different values with the jumpers. I did get it to work originally with hint.sbc.0.irq=3D"5". However, the network card I have is also at irq 5 and either cannot be changed or can only be changed with some software tool I do not have (no jumpers). So, I changed the SB16 jumpers and the hint.sbc.0.irq setting so I could use both cards at the same time. There was some trial and error involved. I tried all irq values the SB16 card supports, only irq 10 worked. irq 5 is used by the network card. Another irq is one of the serial or parallel ports. Yet another SB16 supported irq seemed to be "free", but did not work for me - perhaps it was not really free and I missed something on the BIOS screens. That's how I ended up with non-default hint.sbc.0 settings (at least different from what's in the snd_sbc man page). Regards, Fred Wheeler
