Perhaps I could change my vidcard IRQ then?

The frame rate drop is due to the extra processing that your CPU is doing to make all those sounds. With onboard sound, the CPU takes care of all the processing duties related to audio.
Unless you have the option of changing your video card to a different slot, you won't find much success in attempting to change the IRQ. Again, don't poke the bear! If it's working fine be happy! [img]smile.gif[/img]
