I've been too busy to follow up but I should be able to try what was suggested when I get home.

As I previously mentioned the bios is pretty stripped back. I can charge the IRQs for some of the on-board stuff but I'm not certain I can disable it entirely. Maybe when I get home I'll take a look but it's very cut down.

You know that I think about it I did mess with the jumper that handled the base address. I think I moved it to 240 as opposed to 220. I bet the parameters it assigned while I was setting it up defaulted to 220 because that seems to be the most common address for sound cards in my limited experience. I'm going to try this one more time with the generic sound blaster drivers it gives and I'll make double certain the address matches what it is set up on the card itself.

To be fair I've been mostly working on this after I get home from work which is around midnight and I was too tired at the time to connect the dots.

I'm going to feel really stupid if that's all it was.
