Award? Usually you can set IRQ's, but often the settings are hard to find. In my machine it's under Advanced->PCI Configuration. Even though I have this feature, I still recommend that you should: 1) Remove all of your cards EXCEPT graphics, boot and look at interrupt settings. Write them down or save a file somewhere. 2) If you have on-board devices, like sound or LAN, then you should attempt (through BIOS if available) to put them on low-priority interrupts. (3,4,5,6,7) 3) Add a card, such as your HDSP that drives the multi-face, on maybe PCI slot 3, boot the machine, and look at what interrupt each device is on. If you get 9 or 10 for the HDSP, then you're in pretty good shape. If you do not, then again, set the PCI slot to IRQ 9 if available, or try a different slot with just the HDSP and no other cards. (Always graphics installed, obviously!) 4) Go through this process, adding a single card, booting, and looking at which IRQ each card has, until you get your important sound card/s on the best IRQs. Again, IRQ order is: 0,1,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,3,4,5,6,7 2 does not exist. (Or it's called 'cascade'.) 0,1 & 8 are not available. 9 is best, followed by 10, etc. 10 is as good as 9 if 9 is not used, or only used by acpi support. Networking works fine on 3-7. I hope this helps. Feel free to write directly if you have other questions. Cheers, Mark 3) NOTE: On my machine, BIOS seems to move the USB interrupts around as I chan
