Are you running a distribution that has all the GUI and configuration software included to manage audio? If so, you should be able to find an option for changing your default audio device. If you aren't running a system with a GUI and all the associated audio configuration software packages then this is a common issue and a royal pain to resolve with only configuration. The *ONLY* reliable way I've found to deal with this using a distro that doesn't run all the supporting configuration management packages is with a startup configuration script either using the alsa commands or the /proc entries to find the right card you want and then modify ~/.asound.conf or /etc/asound.conf I've had very unreliable results using all the driver module parameters you'll find strewn throughout all the forums and in the docs. Sometimes they work, sometimes they get ignored.
