That is not a high priority IRQ.  However, the problem is probably that you
have not set the indices in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

The pattern on this list of people complaining about device switching tends
to come from an incorrectly configured alsa-base.  You need to make the SB
the default index 0 card on the system and then set some defaults in
System/Preferences/Sound.  If other devices contend, then you need to
hardcode their index or make sure they never connect.

Hope this helps though you have probably done this,
