IRQ problems with USB devices
Hello,
I have a issue with my mini ITX board (VIA EN 15000G) and usb devices. I got a USB 5.1 sound card (Zalmann) and a USB GPS (deluco). Even though both devices are plugged into seperate USB slots, they have the same IRQ port, which I believe is causing the problem. The problem is only 1 works at a time. When I boot, either I get GPS or Audio, not both, which I need both.
when I go to device manager, and try to change the IRQ, its grayed out as the PC is seeing no error, though I do. Is there a way to fix this?

Basically, I got this.
If I mute the volume when I boot up, and then run GPS, wait a min or so and then play music, everything is OK.
If I do it all at once, after about 30sec, the GPS will lock up and I have to reboot it to get it to work.
