“6. Before booting back into linux go into your systems BIOS
(usually by hitting the delete key as the machine tests memory) and
find a setting called ” Plug and Play OS ” modify the setting to

the soundblaster irq settings and does not permit Linux from
assigning an irq to the soundblaster.”
“Hopefully this will help some slackware users out there. “
