sb 128pci interrupt incorrectly routed

[grasshopperbe]

I just rebuilt an older cyrix 266. I dont know the mobo brand, only that it has a via vt82... chipset, has at and atx power connector, agp 2x slot, 3 pci, 3 isa.

I have a voodoo3 3000, a cable/rj45 network card(realtek) and an 128pci sb. The os is win98se (dutch) .
When i installed the drivers for the audio card, i got an error message saying " SBPCI interrupt has been incorrectly routed by the system, audioPCI inactive, use automatic settings in device manager.
The installation hung at 'web update'.( i dont have internet on that pc anyway) . but the card seems to be installed.
I checked device manager, but automatic settings was already on. (where you set irq and so right? ) i then checked bios, pnp/pci, and they were set to manual.
the first two to legacy isa, the rest PNP/pci or something like that.
i tried setting them to auto (manual/auto setting) but no changes, when i boot up, i get the same error message as above mentioned.

any ideas what i can do about this?

in bootup the irq's are shown like this

IRQ device n°
IDE 14 7
Multimedia dev 11 8
network 10
agp controller 11

is it because the agp irq is also 11?

i have a yet older sb64 gold isa. i could use that one, any opinions?

Move the sound card out of the first PCI slot, that slot shares IRQ with the AGP slot.

I have an AWE64 Gold - and it's a great card. Being ISA, it can't and won't share IRQ, it prefers IRQ 5 and the bios should plug and play it there.

Thanks for the help glc. Im going to do what you advised me. The awe card does indeed give great sound for what it is( i loved that thing when it was still new.)
they were quite expensive if i remember right.

The strange thing with the pci card is that it isnt in the first pci slot, there is too little space because of my vidcard's heatsink. its in the 3rd pci slot (the 3 top ones are pci, 3 bottom ones are isa .
in the second pci is the network card, nothing else insterted.

what i am still wondering is if i should set the bios irq's to auto or leave them like they are. i bought the mobo and cpu second hand last year without manuals or anything, and i cant find no clue about the mobo's brand.

Leave everything auto - what the bios can't sort out, Windows can. With a 266, I'd actually prefer an ISA sound card, PCI sound cards are kinda like Winmodems and eat up system resources.

I replaced the cards, got the drivers from creative and everything seems to run smooth. Thanks for the help.

I found the mobo type btw, its a lucky star mp5v something . has quite some features for its age.
