You've seen the other posts regarding this during the day today. I didn't
set any IRQs myself - Both soundcards were PNP, and Windows just handled it.
Interestingly, I just took a look and found the following in Device Manager:
Creative SB Live! Value card - IRQ 9
Creative SoundBlaster AudioPCI - IRQ 9
Dazzle DVC II PCI Device (PCI card for capturing digital and analog video
sound) - IRQ 9
Since I can use MMTTY x 2 with the 2 soundcards above simultaneously,
Windows must be fairly astute about managing IRQ 9!
I don't have my Integrated Sound enabled at the moment, but it wouldn't
surprise me if it used IRQ 9 too.
