Have you compiled it as a module or into the kernel. Are you using ALSA or the OSS drivers? etc etc.
I found that with my sound card lots of nasty things happened if it wasn't on IRQ 9, boy did I try to change it. However to change it you can either pass some commands to the kernel (via the append command in lilo.conf) or if its a modules pass some parameters to the module as it loads, usually irq=5 or something. please.....more info before you post, its like saying "I have a laptop and wish to install linux on it". All we can do is point you to the general linux laptop website, which any good boy/girl would of done in the first place. enough of my ranting :) Alex
