You appear to have 2 sound cards, the internal one and the SB Extigy: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 82801DB-ICH4] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Extigy [Sound Blaster Extigy], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Extigy [Sound Blaster Extigy], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Extigy [Sound Blaster Extigy], device 2: USB Audio [USB Audio #2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 If you want the SB Extigy to be the default card, you should force the sound card built into the motherboard to be the second card. If you type the command: cat /proc/asound/modules you will see which modules are at what index. I'm assuming that you have something that looks like: 0 snd_hda_intel 1 snd_usb You will have to verify the exact names as I don't know what they are. Then edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and add the lines: options snd_usb index=0 options snd_hda_intel index=1 substituting the name of the snd_* module for your Extigy on the index=0 line and the name of the snd_* module for your onboard sound on the index=1 line. If you have still saved the alsa-info.sh file from http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh , you can run it by typing: sh alsa-info.sh if you answer yes to uploading the file, take note of the URL given for the file and post it in a reply here. Let us know how you go.
