22 should be OK, as your Motherboard has an APIC which extends
normal IRQ mapping from 15 up to 23. However, IRQs have priority
and placing a Sound Card that high in the signaling tree may not be an
optimal setting. I would probably move the Sound card to Slot #2 or
Slot #5 which should give it an independent IRQ with a higher priority
such as 5 or 10.
