Sound Card

[sambox2000]

I have two sound cards, one is onboard, the other one is a creative LIve soundcard. Both are recognized and the drivers are installed, but for some reason, it prefers tthe onboard one and whenever I change it on the mixer and hardware profile, it changes it back the next time i boot to the onboard one. Anything I can do?

Can't you switch off the onboard sound in the bios-settings?

Have you disabled your onboard soundcard via bios? Disable it and run  

Code:

sudo alsaconf

due to my hearing impairment i have a sound blaster sound card. i havent been able to install the sound blaster software and drivers. i dont know what to install with?how can i access the or a sound configuration console so that i may better adjust volume and sound on my pardus.        any help  is very much appreciated.

I have a sound blaster live 5.1 card too and it's working excellent. Alsa driver packages should be installed on your system to get sound and these packages are installed as default. So you don't need to install.

Again: Have you disabled your onboard sound card via bios and run "alsaconf" with root privileges?

i installed all of "alsas" sound packages from tasmas "package manager then ran "alsaconf" in root command, chose my source of sound device from a small list of sound sources and from there it did all the rest of my sound card configeration.      thanks for the tips.
