Your pcmcia is sharing the interrupt with the first usb-port. You can use lsusb
or usbview to see which devices you plugged in there. They will disturb your
pcmcia-experience.

Please not that while your graphics card isn't listed in the output of "cat
/proc/interrupts" this doesn't mean that it isn't sending interrupts. Only
there is no driver caring about them. So it can still be that the graphics is
disturbing your sound-interrupts...
