ASUS A7m266 - - - HELP!!!!!
I have a buddy that bought all the pieces to assemble a screamin' workstation with the ASUS A7M266 at the helm - however he has a problem - it seems that the six PCI slots share their IRQ's with different devices and the on-board sound card will not reassign to a different IRQ - continually conflicting with his RAID controller.
He tried to install a PCI sound card in slot 5, but it conflicted with the NIC in slot 4 (4&5 share resources).
The configuration is as followes:
AGP: ATI Radeon 64MB DDR
PCI1: Shared with AGP
PCI2: Adaptec SCSI RAID controller - IRQ-10 - AAA-131U2
PCI3: Adaptec Fast SCSI Controller - IRQ-11 - AHA-2906
PCI4: D-Link 10/100 NIC - IRQ 9
PCI5: Shared with PCI4
USB Shared with NIC
On-Board Audio when enabled attaches to IRQ10 - regardless of the BIOS setting.
Would not be that big of a deal, except he is doing video recording and needs the audio.
Any suggestions, even if the suggestion is another board at this point (Almost $2k in hardware that does not work correctly)
