What is the standard IRQ setting for a math coprocessor?
This interrupt is the first choice that most sound cards make when looking for an IRQ setting.
The standard IRQ (Interrupt Request Line) for COM1 (the first serial port) is IRQ 4. This allocation allows the operating system to communicate with the serial device connected to COM1. If multiple serial ports are present, they typically use different IRQs to avoid conflicts.
When two expansion cards request the same system resource, such as an IRQ or memory address, the conflict can be resolved by changing the resource settings for one of the cards. This can often be done through the system BIOS/UEFI settings, where you can manually assign resources. Additionally, removing or repositioning the cards in different slots can sometimes help. If these options are not viable, updating drivers or using a different card may be necessary.

IRQ 1 is used exclusively for the keyboard controller.
This interrupt is the first choice that most sound cards make when looking for an IRQ setting.
IRQ
IRQ 0 - System timer. IRQ 1 - Keyboard. IRQ 2 - Cascaded signals from IRQs 8-15. IRQ 3 - COM2 (Default) and COM4 (User) serial ports IRQ 4 - COM1 (Default) and COM3 (User) serial ports IRQ 5 - LPT2 Parallel Port 2 or sound card IRQ 6 - Floppy disk controller IRQ 7 - LPT1 Parallel Port 1 or sound card (8-bit Sound Blaster and compatibles) IRQ 8 - Real time clock IRQ 9 - Free / Open interrupt / Available / SCSI. Any devices configured to use IRQ 2 will actually be using IRQ 9. IRQ 10 - Free IRQ 11 - Free IRQ 12 - PS/2 connector Mouse. IRQ 13 - ISA / Math Co-Processor IRQ 14 - Primary IDE. If no Primary IDE this can be changed IRQ 15 - Secondary IDE These are just a set of standard IRQs. For much more detail check our Ralf Brown's list located at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ralf/files.html

LTP1 should use IRQ7.
By default, the IRQ for the floppy disk controller is IRQ 6.
By default IRQ 7 is assigned to LPT1.
