When you say you disabled the sound card, does that mean you tried
removing it altogether?
if you haven't already done so, run the experiment & try setting up
networking with the soundcard removed from your computer.
Soundcards are notorious for trying to steal IRQs  & address space
from other devices.
What type of computer is it?
