Using all of those and not using SCSI is just asking for trouble.

Perhaps you could set it up so that you don't use them all the time, and
share IRQs  e.g. use the scanner when you aren't using the soundblaster.
This would probably involve rebooting the system to use different devices
but may be your only method without spending money on a better solution.
