I have this setup and no matter what I do, both graphic cards and the x-fi all report as being on IRQ16.
I suspect this is causing my games to crash, most run fine for 5-10 minutes then begin to have stuttering problems, then they finally freeze up, ctrl+alt+delete seems to unfreeze them for a few seconds, just long enough to exit the game. I'm pretty sure It's not a heat problem, everything is maintained and well ventilated and not overclocked. And I can't move the X-fi into a different slot, the 8800GTs are dual slot cards in the first and third pciex16 slots, which cover up the 1x slot, and the x-fi is in the middle pciex16 slot. I didn't have this problem with the onboard audio before I got my X-fi, and it was on a different IRQ.
Anyone have any idea what I can do to change the IRQs? I really think the shared IRQs are the source of the problem, other than that it sounds great, no crackling or popping, and all the features work, and yes im using the Xfi support pack and all the newest drivers for my setup.
It has happened on UT3, RA3, and Stalker, they run absolutely fine on max settings, then start messing up. But there are no graphical artifacts or sound pops, they just freeze.
If there's anyone else with this problem or could help me out, I'm really running out of ideas here.
