Your IRQ # will only make a difference if its in conflict with
something else. You should try to have your sound card on its own IRQ
if possible though.

You could try this in your autoexec.cfg:
set s_mixahead 0.14 	//lowers the delay before mixing sounds
set s_primary 0		//switches off the direct sound buffer
set s_khz 22		//increases the sound quality value

These are just the obvious things. They may help though. GL :-)
