Hey, i've tried setting up my sounds :-)
Got an onboard sound thats broken in the plug, and a pci card that works good.
I can't get Ubuntu to default select the pci card, after trying the settings from complete soundprob guide as below:
It seems the index=0 function doesnt want to help me.
Maybe its due to the fact that my machine registres 2 sound drivers with same name ?
cat /proc/asound/modules gives this responce
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_hda_intel
2 snd_cmipci
Any ideas,or something you wanna see before being able to help me.
Btw, forgot to mention.
If i try the index option, my pci can is removed from aplay -l and cat /proc/asound/modules.

Configuring default soundcards / stopping multiple soundcards from switching
Note: This section assumes that you have installed each soundcard properly.
*
In a shell, type
Code:
cat /proc/asound/modules
*
This will give the the name and index of each soundcard you have currently. Make a note of the names, and decide which one you want to be the default card.
*
Now type
Code:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
*
At the very end of the file, add the following (assuming you have 3 cards with module names A, B and C and you want to have them in the order CAB)
Code:
options snd-C index=0
options snd-A index=1
options snd-B index=2
Found it :asoundconf, and set deafault with it.
