Might be a wrong guess.  MPU and MIDI stuff usually hang out on IRQ 9, which
is the same thing as IRQ 2, by a strange patch of the old ISA structure...

: MSS/WSS IRQ
: Default: 11
: MSS/WSS DMA
: Default: 3
: MSS/WSS 2nd DMA
: Default: -1

Mine is at 10,0, and 3 I think.  DMA (or DRQ) is a Direct Memory Access
request line.  This line gets raised when a pheripheral is talking directly
to system memory, without the help of the processor. (Faster!)  If your
card is full-duplexable (Can record and play at the same time), then it 
needs two DMAs.  You are likely safe leaving the second DMA at -1.
As for the IRQ, my Win95 report says nothing correct about the soundcard. :( 
Suggestion: Get the demo of the $20 drivers, let it detect your setup, and
use the settings that IT returns!  Then delete it. :)
