It'll go anywhere you want it to be, as long as you have a free interrupt. The CIS IRQ values are bogus and you can ignore them. , and there's no way to fiddle with > the sound hardware in the BIOS.

Don't even get the device > is busy or allocation failed errors. Only when the system is *really* confused do I get the busy errors. I'm guessing that the above mentioned changes will make things work again. Nate
