[linux-audio-user] Safest way to change primary soundcard

[Esa Linna]

I have now two soundcards in my machine:

integrated VIA 686 soundcard (default) and SB Audigy 2

Which is the safest and trustworthy way to change Audigy as primary 
card? Or then, "removing" the integrated card since I don't need it?

I edited the file /etc/modprobe.conf by changing
- "alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx" to "alias sound-slot-1 snd-via82xx"
and
- "alias sound-slot-1 snd-emu10k1" to "alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1".

Didn't help, since for example alsamixer shows snd-via82xx as default.

My etc/modprobe.conf says:

# This file is autogenerated from /etc/modules.conf using 
generate-modprobe.conf command

alias eth0 3c59x
remove snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe 
--first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install 
snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
alias sound-slot-1 snd-via82xx
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe aic7xxx; /bin/true
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
remove snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe 
--first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx
install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install 
snd-via82xx && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /bin/true
