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. -- ====================================================================== Joe Hartley - UNIX/network Consultant - jh@xxxxxxxxxxxx Without deviation from the norm, "progress" is not possible. - FZappa
