The interrupt priorities mentioned by the previous poster are not a big
deal here. I believe these only determine which interrupt the CPU sees
first if they happen to fire at the *exact* same time.
I respectfully disagree; the IRQ is very important to the system!
There's a ton of detail why at http://www.pcguide.com/ref/mbsys/res/irq/func.htm
It's worth noting that many motherboards have a way of assigning IRQs
to particular slots in the BIOS. That might be what you need to get IRQ 9
assigned to the sound card. If the 1010 is at 5, which is often used
for the parallel port, just about every other peripheral will be ahead
of it, taking precedence.
