Ian,
I appreciate your help but I'm a little confused.  What is it you look for
and what is it you change?  When you say "the address your going to use"  do
you mean IRQ?  Also how do you change the Input/output ranges?  How do you
know what range to assign?  I've never messed with the adresses before--I'm
new at this.
THanks,
Mike Fixler

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] New Soundcard alway goes to IRQ 9


I was recently experiencing resource allocation problems with a firewire
card and some system devices.  Problem devices were sharing IRQ 10 which
couldn't be modified.   I checked the Memory & Input/Output ranges using the
scroll bars and found that the problem devices addresses were close in range
to each other.  Changing these solved my problem.  My rule of thumb when
changing these values is to make sure that there are no devices within 5 up
and 5 down of the address I'm going to use (that it, 5 clicks up & down on
the scroll bars).  HTH, and that I was clear enough in my explanation.

> Hi,
> Thanks to everyone for all your help on my last problem.  Fortunately
there's always something new.  My new soundcard is not working properly.
The tech support people at Midiman who make this soundcard tell me that it
will not work properly on IRQ 9.  The prblem is that it wil only install on
IRQ 9.  I have gone to device manager to try and change the IRQ address but
it tells me "this resource setting can not be modified."  I have tried
physically swapping cards between PCI slots but that doesn't work either.
There was one incident where I swapped the cards and actually got it to
install on IRQ 10 but the USB which was previously on IRQ 9 transferred to
10 along with the card!  Whats with that?How can I get this card off of IRQ
9 and not have the other devices tag along?
