Hi,

I have a ASUS P8P67 mainboard and it has 3x PCI slots where I try using a Creative X-Fi Platinum PCI soundcard.
My system is Windows 7 Pro x64.

Why is there no possebility in Windows 7 to change the IRQ as some IRQ are available like 3,4,5,6 & 7, if the bios assign them it seems to me the bios is quite stupid to make IRQ conflicts however the drivers schould have IRQ Sharing compability which seems not to do it's job very well.

Is there any chance I can assign the IRQ's manual by some mabe hidden bios settings?

Thanks in advance for your input!
Is it possible that the ACPI driver can cause conflicts?
If yes, is there a way to get influences to that driver IRQ assignments?

Below the default IRQ assignments that are made by the BIOS:
Default ISA IRQ Assignments
IRQ 0 System Timer
IRQ 1 Keyboard
IRQ 2 Cascaded with IRQ 9
IRQ 3 Default COM2 and COM4
IRQ 4 Default COM1 and COM3
IRQ 5 LPT2
IRQ 6 Floppy Drive Controller
IRQ 7 LPT1
IRQ 8 Real Time Clock
IRQ 9 SEE 2
IRQ 10 Open
IRQ 11 Open
IRQ 12 PS/2 mouse or Open
IRQ 13 Math Coprocessor
IRQ 14 Primary Hard Drive controller
IRQ 15 Secondary Hard Drive controller
Still no awnsers!

Somebody???
