Hi again, late follow up. But I thought I'd share when I found the reason for my troubles. It seems the preferred sound card was the built-in or NVIDIA card, when I changed the preferred sound card to the Razor Megalodon, it did change the preferred sound card, but I could last week see that applications were still set to using the initial preferred sound card. If the initial sound card gets selected by the distro or installer, I guess it is confusing for a user if they change the sound card and nothing happens, or sound is partially working in some apps.
