(And I say this as a KDE user for the last 5+ years) There should be an option in KControl (KDE control panel) that allows the user (just as one can in Gnome ad also in Windows XP control panel) to define/change the system wide default audio device, using a simple applet with a drop down menu - rather that forcing a user to struggle with several essentially very obscure configuration files. In any case after much research both cards now work. However I have another issue (with my onboard speakers not working correctly with the Audigy card) which I will post separately. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
