i have two soundcards on my desktop, an onboard intel ICH6 and an creative audigy (which is the one i want to use with some analog 2.1 speakers)
when i look in /preferences/sound and change the default card to the audigy and test the speakers it doesn't work, i had this problem waaay back in the day (i think on ubuntu 6.06 lol) and i think i fixed it by blacklisting the onboard audio so ubuntu doesn't see it and then the other card worked.
i looked up a few commands to run in terminal for info:
