How do I set default soundcard as two where detected.

[ade234uk]

I have installed Kubuntu and It has detected two soundcards. One of these is the onboard sound the other is my Audigy card. I would like to set the Audigy as my default soundcard as I dont get any sound from the onboard one.

The audigy worked in Ubuntu and it was just a case of selecting the soundcard from the drop down menu in Gnome, how do I do this is KDE?

Thank you for your help.

Re: How do I set default soundcard as two where detected.

I was going to post the same question myself and I saw yours.  Managed to work it out (I hope) and it seems to work fine.  I've got 3 soundcards.  Hope this (rather terse) explanation helps:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
# autoloader aliases
install sound-slot-0 modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1 modprobe snd-card-1
install sound-slot-2 modprobe snd-card-2

# Cause optional modules to be loaded above generic modules
install snd modprobe --ignore-install snd $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qb snd-ioctl32 ; : ; }
install snd-pcm modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qb snd-pcm-oss ; : ; }
install snd-mixer modprobe --ignore-install snd-mixer $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qb snd-mixer-oss ; : ; }
install snd-seq modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qba snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss ; : ; }

# Cause optional modules to be loaded above sound card driver modules
install snd-emu10k1 modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qb snd-emu10k1-synth ; }
install snd-via82xx modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qb snd-seq ; }

# Load saa7134-alsa instead of saa7134 (which gets dragged in by it anyway)
install saa7134 modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qb saa7134-alsa ; : ; }
# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
#options snd-bt87x index=-2
#options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
#options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
#options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2

##I've added this onto the file:
options snd-intel8x0    index=0
options snd-usb-audio   index=1
options snd-ice1712     index=2
