IRQs - Lower and sharing, or higher and by itself?
Hey all,
Question about IRQs: I know that lower IRQs have priority over higher IRQs, but IRQ sharing can also cause problems with Pro Tools and Firewire devices. I have a Profire 2626. My onboard FW card is a RICOH chipset controller, and I have been using it successfully until recently. I then purchased the Digidesigned approved SIIG Expresscard Firewire adapter to rule out my onboard audio, with some success in solving my issue. Here's the scenario: When the Profire 2626 is connected via my onboard FW controller, it shares IRQ 21 with the High Definition Audio Device, which drives the onboard modem and sound card. If I disable that device, the onboard RICOH FW controller (and by extension, the 2626) has IRQ 21 all to itself and shares with nothing. However, when I plug in the SIIG FW card, I find that it shares IRQ 16 with 4 other devices (Intel 4 series express chipset, ICH9 Family PCI Express root hubs, Nvidia 9300M GS display adapter). Which situation is actually more desirable? Here's my IRQ report (note in this report, the RICOH FW controller is disabled, but would normally appear on IRQ 21): IRQ 16 Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Series PCI Express Root Port - 2A41 OK IRQ 16 NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS OK IRQ 16 Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family OK IRQ 16 Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 2940 OK IRQ 16 Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller OK IRQ 4294967293 Intel(R) 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection OK IRQ 23 Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2937 OK IRQ 23 Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2938 OK IRQ 23 Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2939 OK IRQ 23 Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 293C OK IRQ 21 High Definition Audio Controller OK IRQ 4294967292 PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge OK IRQ 17 Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 2 - 2942 OK IRQ 4294967294 Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN OK IRQ 19 Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 4 - 2946 OK IRQ 20 Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2934 OK IRQ 20 Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2935 OK IRQ 20 Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2936 OK IRQ 20 Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 293A OK IRQ 22 Ricoh SD Bus Host Adapter OK IRQ 22 Ricoh Memory Stick Host Controller OK IRQ 22 Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller OK IRQ 8 System CMOS/real time clock OK IRQ 13 Numeric data processor OK IRQ 0 System timer OK IRQ 1 Standard PS/2 Keyboard OK IRQ 12 Alps Pointing-device for VAIO OK IRQ 11 Sony Programmable I/O Control Device OK IRQ 10 Intel(R) ICH9 Family SMBus Controller - 2930 OK IRQ 9 AC3NUCTU IDE Controller OK |
