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

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 alias eth1 eth1394 alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias char-major-195* nvidia
