kmod-nvidia kills my sound

Running Fedora 14 i686.  If I only run the nouveau video driver, my 
sound works fine.  If, however, I install and run the commercial nvidia 
driver via kmod-nvidia, my sound dies a few seconds after I try to use 
it.  It sounds for all the world like an IRQ conflict ...

SiS integrated Intel sound ...
