IRQ Channel Assignment?

[John Altvater]

The "Creative Audigy2", Audio Processor and "Nvidia GeForce FX 5200" Video
Processor installed on my Win XP Home, Sp1 system, share the same IRQ
channel, IRQ channel 18. Both devices have the latest, signed drivers and
for the most part work very well. However, from time-to-time I hear a
popping sound from the speakers. Thus far, no help from the manufacturers.

Should these devices be on different IRQ channels? If so, which channel for
each device? And, how do I make the change?

I've been trying to solve this problem for several weeks, any help would be
appreciated.

Thank you,

John

IRQ sharing is normal in XP. This should not be a problem.
