Sound/Video Conflicts...

Yo,
This isn't 100% related to winamp, but is related to sound under windows in general.
While listening to mp3s, if I cause anything which involves a lot of video activity (changing active window, alt+tab, etc), short screeching/hissing/buzzing noises are outputted together with the music that I am playing.
I know the reason for this - if I check through device manager, the display adapter and sound card are sharing the same IRQ - 5. Despite this, I can't seem to change it in device manager..
Anyone have any possible ideas or cures for this?

Thanks, Chris.
