How to choose default soundcard?

[Quaxo76]

Hello,
My PC has a on-board soundcard, and a PCI Audigy soundcard. It looks like my Linux wants to use the on-board card. How do I tell it to use the Audigy instead?

Thanks
Cristian

Disable the on-board sound card in your BIOS settings.

Yes, I know that's the "easiest" solution... But as I sometimes need that too, under Windows, to connect it to additional equipment... I would have liked a "OS-based" rather than BIOS-based way!
Thanks anyway for the reply!

Look down this page for: Configuring default soundcards / stopping soundcards from switching

Thanks for the reply! By the way, just a few minutes ago I found on another page the following solution:

asoundconf list

To see the list of cards; then

asoundconf set-default-card CardName

to make it default...
I still haven't rebooted, but for now it seems to work - I have my sound system up and running!

Thanks again
Cristian
