If by "DMA channel" he means IRQ, then that's certainly something to
check.

Note that they're both at irq 11. I would say that's almost certainly
the problem, except my ahc7890 & AudioPCI 1370 work fine that
way. However, try changing it and see what happens. You should be able
to use your BIOS to force one of them to a fixed IRQ other than
11. Exactly what to use depends on the rest of your system.
