Another set of Delta 44 problems

Well, I'm trying to get the recording process fired up again, and I'm running into all sorts of problems with my M-Audio Delta 44.

First off, I was having problems with the system hanging when sounds were played. I called M-Audio and they diagnosed it as an IRQ conflict...which was weird, because the computer apparently changed the sound card's IRQ from 5 to 16 BY ITSELF...and that put it on the same IRQ as the video card. Okay, no problem, took it out and reinstalled it into the second PCI slot.

Well, that didn't help a whole lot, because now it's on IRQ 17, which I've heard isn't a good place for it to be. And the performance shows. I'm using Audition, and when there are more than 2 or 3 active tracks, I can't record without it pausing for a second or two during the recording...which, of course, screws everything up.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it a couple times...one time, with no software installed, ACPI gave it an IRQ of 5...then I installed the software and it assigned it back to IRQ 17.

I'm pretty much at a loss right now, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it.
