Soooo I find that my ATI video card and my soundblaster card are sharing an IRQ setting of 16. Anyone here happen to know how I would change that setting? Would prefer to move my sound card IRQ to say 17 as it's unused atm. I have video problems with BF2 and this is a suggested fix.

Usually you have to go into the bios and then you can assign specific IRQs to your PCI slots.
Be forewarned if you do that, it may cause conflicts with other hardware. I had a similar issue with my old video card. It would lock up at random. Had a SB Audigy 2.

You might try switching your Soundblaster to a different PCI slot if you have one open.
