I have a laptop. But I did move the sound card to the other PCMCIA slot 
just to see if that would do anything, but everything is still on IRQ 11.

I looked all through the BIOS and have found no way to allocate irq's. 
Although, I did go through the BIOS and disabled any peripheral I 
absolutely could go without using. I was even willing to disable my 
wireless for good. But there was absolutely no change. Still the 
occasional click, pop or complete drop-out in sound.

This is 'cat /proc/interrupts' after disabling peripherals....
