1) I never got a soundcard running proper on IRQ 5.
That could be one
part of the trouble. Currently my IRQ 9 looks like this:
9: 472 XT-PIC acpi, Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (#2),
usb-uhci, usb-uhci, hdsp, ohci1394, Intel 82801CA-ICH3, eth0
And the card seems to run good. IRQ 9 is about the best IRQ you can
get for sound, although IRQ 9 without having to share it is even
better.
i'll try to get it running on irq 11 ... i'll try it when i come
home...
3) If your BIOS cannot reassign IRQs, you should try
booting with
"pci=noacpi" or even "acpi=off" in your grub.conf or lilo.conf. This
will keep the ACPI daemon from choosing IRQs for your hardware, and a
new, better configuration may accimagically arise. I boot with the
first argument, and that is how I got the cardbus on IRQ 9.
i'll try that, too,
although i already tried it (with the cardbus on
irq5)
4) [This is the extreme solution.] I forget which
distro you are
using, but I swear to Allah that I *never* could get my cardbus HDSP
running with Mandrake or Red Hat. The only distros which worked were
Debian and Gentoo [which I use currently]. Voodoo maybe, or it might
have something to do with the amount of stuff that gets recompiled
under these two distros [specifically kernel and modules for PCMCIA],
or it might have to do with some of Man-Hat's "distro-dummy"
configuration schemes... who knows? I only know what works...
i'm using it on a
gentoo system ... generally the genkernel settings
with some additions (low latency,...)
