HP sells a Pentium computer that does not have jumpers or a BIOS option to disable the onboard Crystal soundcard. The machine was here so quickly that I did not see the manufacturer of the motherboard. According to the owner, he could not get the OSS driver to work with the card. People that buy these crap machines cannot afford to lose a IRQ. They already max-ed out the IRQs because of IDE drive, APATI drive, PS/2 mouse and (usually internal) modem. --mark.
