What you need to do is go into system manager and have a look what device is
using IRQ 5 or other that GP2 will see ( I prefer 5 as most DOS games will
use that) see if that item can be configured to use IRQ 9 which is what your
soundcard is currently using, if it will you will be able to configure the
IRQ's manually but this may affect any Plug and play devices you wish to add
in the future.
In device manager you need to click on the device you want, click on
properties then resources, uncheck the use automatic settings box and you
can then set the IRQ's manually (providing that device will use the IRQ you
want to give it )
Remember to write down the original settings incase you get into trouble
!!!!
Hope this helps
