I wouldn't recommend this setup, 'cause many people have soundcards
using irq 5. I jumpered the card to:

isic0 at isa0 port 0x300-0x307 irq 3
isic0: AVM A1 or AVM Fritz!Card
isic0: ISAC 2085 Version A1/A2 or 2086/2186 Version 1.1 (IOM-2)
isic0: HSCX 82525 or 21525 Version 2.1
BRI 0 at isic0

You could use some other interrupts also, for example irq 11.

I don't ever get any errors. Maybe your card is broken?
I remember that it was quite hard to find out how to set the jumpers but
finally I found a document describing it. If someone needs it -> email
me.
