Then stick to serial ports again.

Use setserial to change serial port IRQs.
E.g. put:

        /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 irq 7

or something similar in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Check first if IRQ 7 (or any other you want to use) is free of course,
by examining /proc/interrupts.  This way you will still have your sound
card on irq3, scsi at irq4 and serial port at whatever you finf free.

Also, you may use:

        setserial -g /dev/ttyS?

to see the actual settings of all serial ports.
