you might consider if there is a place in the BIOS to move the onboard sound .
My cat /proc/interrupts lists a few sharing IRQs and so far, while I cna say
I can create plenty of problems, I ain't chased any down to these particulre
sharings (wintv and Nvidia gf4 ti4200 on 10;, usb-uhci, usb-uhci, ohci1394,
eth0 on 11.
