Remove the sound card and try then.  You may also want to try changing
the *ORDER* of the cards in the PCI slots.  Tyan motherboards have
seemed to be the most prone to requiring this, but I've also seen it
on ABit boards.  Problems with resource allocation can go away
because of changes in the order of the cards.

You probably should look for a BIOS update for your motherboard as
well.  Though flashing a BIOS can result in a dead board...

Are you SURE there's not an interrupt conflict?  What IRQ/IO is your
sound card listed as being on?
