What I have tried so far (with no success): Grub: noapic pci=noacpi pci=routeirq acpi=off acpi_irq_pci=11 acpi_irq_balance Bios: Disable ACPI Disable P&P The audio is fine now, but I had to disable the on-board USB controller (it keeps trying to assign a shared IRQ for the modem no matter what). It also happens with the smartlink modem, but I can use the modem with no problem (despite the fact the connection is dropped when you are accessing sites with too many images). It's quite annoying... Ludi
