    I am wanting to use this laptop to do music Video mixing but have ran into a problem. I use a firewire sound card and it seems its on the same IRQ with the graphics card. If I put any strain on the graphics card then my audio from the sound card comes out with pops and crackles! They are both on IRQ 16. I have to be honest I am not computer savy and need help to find out if this can be fixed or not! Please!!!! Help

    as you can see IRQ 16 has every damn thing on it! My video card and IEEE 1394 Fire wire which i think is causing the problem. It works fine for a while then all the sudden the static and bad sounds starts up. (Please someone at least let me know if this is fixable or not) I cant buy a new soundcard and I am debating on whether returning the laptop.
