You will also need to clear the ECSD memory in the BIOS to make it 
reassign the IRQs.  It's either labelled "reset ECSD" (or ESCD, my 
memory is crap) or something like "clear NVRAM".  If there's nothing 
like that then you may need to clear the whole BIOS settings with the 
mobo jumper.

What sound card are you using in the system?  SBLive cards have known 
problems.
